Route 66 was officially established in 1926 as part of the U.S. Highway System, facilitating cross-country travel from Chicago to Santa Monica. The route was developed from existing roads and trails, with a combination of state and federal funding. It was designed to improve road infrastructure during the Great Depression, promoting economic growth and mobility. Over the years, it became a symbol of American culture and the automobile era.
