Route 66 Association

Route 66 Association is the generic name of the non-profit associations established for preservation, restoration and promotion of the historic U.S. Route 66. They exist in all eight Route 66 states: Illinois, Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and California.

The first Route 66 Association was established on U.S. Route 66 in Arizona by businessman Angel Delgadillo. An initial meeting of 15 people on February 18, 1987, in Seligman led to efforts which yielded a state-issued "Historic Route 66" designation for a portion of former Route 66 between Kingman and Seligman later that year. By 1990, similar organizations had been established in all eight U.S. Route 66 states.
