In 1926 Route 66 was named and became the first National Highway. It was 2,400 miles in length.

It then went West through Albuquerque, Flagstaff, Barstow, California and ended in LA. This was a time before franchises. It was a time when diners, motels, gas stations and tourist attractions were Mom and Pop businesses. Food was meant to be comfort food... not food one could get "while on the go."

The towns one traveled through at that time were much more a part of the journey than they are today.
