Seligman, Route 66 gateway in Yavapai County, Arizona.
Seligman is a village in northern Arizona situated along Route 66, spread across roughly 6.4 square miles at an elevation of about 1,600 meters. The town holds vintage-style stores, diners, and places to stay that serve travelers passing through this historic corridor.
Originally called Prescott Junction, the settlement was renamed in 1886 after Jesse Seligman, who funded railroad expansion in the region. This change marked the transition from a simple rail stop to a community with its own identity.
The early 20th-century buildings in town reflect how travelers along Route 66 shaped the community. These structures show how the road transformed a small settlement into a place where visitors stopped and stayed.
The town offers several lodging and dining options for travelers exploring Route 66. It is helpful to check ahead on which businesses are open, as hours can vary depending on the season.
The Snow Cap Drive-In opened in 1953 and still operates today with much of its original architecture and decor intact. This restaurant represents a living piece of Route 66 culture that has survived in this spot.
