100 years of the historic Route 66 Coined the “Mother Road” by John Steinbeck in his 1939 “The Grapes of Wrath” novel, the U.S. Route 66 has been a beloved part of New Mexico’s history since its opening in 1926 as an official highway. Route 66 is a landmark of American development and urbanization of the West, connecting Michigan Avenue in Chicago to the Santa Monica Pier in Los Angeles, California — a total of 2,238 miles in its final form, according to The Route 66 website. Though travel on Route 66 lessened as the larger U.S. highway system was built, the magic of the “Mother Road” can still be seen in the cities and towns along its original route and through the oral histories of locals.
