The route is 2,448 miles long (about 4,000 km).
It was commissioned in 1926, picking up as many as possible bits and
pieces of existing road.
It crosses eight states and three time zones.
Driving the route in the opposite direction is historically wrong, and a lot
harder as all available documentation goes the “right” way.
In 1926 only 800 miles were paved; by 1937 Route 66 was paved
end to end.
Route 66 is also known as “The Mother Road,” “The Main Street of
America” and as “The Will Rogers Highway.”
Cyrus Stevens Avery from Tulsa, Oklahoma can be called the "Father
of Route 66."
Route 66 even has its own song:
