Seligman Commercial Historic District
Seligman Commercial Historic District, Historic district in Seligman, Arizona, US.
Seligman Commercial Historic District is a commercial area with railroad, automobile, and business structures from the early 20th century set along the original Route 66. The buildings date mostly from 1900 to 1960 and reflect the transportation infrastructure of that era.
The area was founded in 1886 as Prescott Junction and later renamed after banker Jesse Seligman, who financed the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway. The town's growth followed the railroad and then the arrival of Route 66.
The district reflects different eras of transportation, from rail to automobile travel, and you can see how these shifts shaped how people lived and worked here.
A walk through the district takes about 20 minutes and you can explore the historic buildings at your own pace. The area is flat and easy to navigate, making it accessible for most visitors.
The area gained recognition on the National Register of Historic Places in 2005 following detailed documentation work by local resident Mirna Delgadillo. This grassroots effort helped preserve the area's importance in Route 66 history.
