WINSLOW ARIZONA HISTORY
Winslow, Arizona, began as an 1880s railroad hub, and it boomed when Route 66 opened in 1926. The town was named after railroad president General Edward F. Winslow.
Winslow is located in northern Arizona, about 58 miles east of Flagstaff. It quickly grew into a vital stop for cross-country travelers. When Route 66 was designated in 1926, Winslow became a major stop for road-trippers. The city buzzed with motor courts, diners, and gas stations.
One of Winslow’s most famous landmarks was the La Posada Hotel. Built in 1930, this luxury destination was designed by famous architect Mary Colter. It offered a grand oasis for weary cross-country travelers.
In the late 1970s, Interstate 40 was built, and it bypassed downtown Winslow, dramatically reducing tourism in the town. The town was saved by a rock and roll song in 1972, when The Eagles released the hit song "Take It Easy." The famous lyrics state: "Well, I'm standin' on a corner in Winslow, Arizona.”
Today, Winslow is a popular Route 66 road trip destination for its famous Standin' on the Corner Park. Opened in 1999, this park features a life-sized bronze statue of an easy-going man, a two-story mural, and a permanent flatbed Ford.
