Route 66, often referred to as the "Main Street of America," holds significant historical and cultural importance as one of the original highways in the U.S. highway system, established in 1926. It symbolizes freedom and the American spirit of adventure, attracting travelers with its unique roadside attractions and small-town charm. The route played a crucial role in the migration westward, especially during the Great Depression, and has since become a nostalgic icon representing Americana. Today, it continues to inspire tourism and preserve a sense of connection to America’s past.
I-40 Edit: Incorrect. Interstate 40 and Route 66 are two completely different highways. In any case, Route 66's name hasn't been changed as of now (2011), but it's been coliquially known as Will Roger's Highway or The Main Street of America for many years. Additional information: It all depends on what state you are in. For example, most of what remains of US 66 in Oklahoma is now signed as Oklahoma State Highway 66. Many states are now making an effort to re-sign what is left of the route, therefore in a lot of places you will see it referred to as "Old Route 66".
