Flagstaff’s
Early History
Although Flagstaff
became an incorporated
town in 1894, the modern
history really dates back
to 1876 when settlers

by raising an American
flag up a pine tree. Their “flag staff” became
a landmark for those who followed, and
eventually became the town’s namesake.
The western expansion of the railroad in the
1880s attracted merchants and saloonkeepers
to set up shop for the
railroad workers and
lumbermen. Within a
couple of years, Flagstaff
was a thriving town of
railroad, lumber and
ranching industries.
Early families such as the
Riordans (lumber) and
Babbitts (ranching) have Riordan Mansion State
descendants who still live Historic Park.
and work in Flagstaff today. In the
ensuing century since, the formation
of the Normal School would become
NAU, Lowell Observatory was established, and the surrounding area
became a vast National Forest. Flagstaff’s
early history is described in the brochure

Haunted Flagstaff
With more than a century of history,
Flagstaff’s paranormal past and wellknown spectors have earned the city
a reputation as one of Arizona’s most
haunted locations. Ghostly legends
of bank robbers who didn’t get away,
murdered ladies of the night, faithful
workers still finishing a job and

as a popular stop on the iconic
highway. Famous musical acts making their way to Los
Angeles would stop at the Museum Club for a gig, and
the Eagles’ classic “Take it Easy” was written by musician
Jackson Browne after he found himself “standing on the
corner in Flagstaff, Arizona” when traveling Route 66
to California. Winslow, Arizona was easier to sing and
made the final lyrics, but Route 66 nostalgia is abundant
around Flagstaff. Construction of the
modern interstate may have relegated
it to “Historic Route 66,” but modern
travelers can still enjoy that iconic
experience. Flagstaff’s nostalgic Route

Native Peoples
Flagstaff is in the heart of the Colorado
Plateau, a region known for its rich
Native American history. Evidence
of the earliest native cultures in the
Flagstaff area can be found in the
cliff dwellings of Walnut Canyon
National Monument and the rockwalled pueblos of Wupatki National
Hopi Dancers, Museum of
Northern Arizona.
Monument where the ancient Sinagua
and Anasazi tribes inhabited more than 800 years ago. This
Native American heritage still permeates the culture today,
as tribal lands cover more than 31,000 square miles (49,890
km2) in this region and are home
to the Navajo, Hopi, Havasupai,
Kaibab-Paiute and Hualapai
peoples. To learn more about the
uniquely diverse Native cultures of
the Colorado Plateau, visit Flagstaff's

History of Innovation
Flagstaff has been known as a town
of discovery and innovation for more
than 100 years. Here scientists have
made discoveries in astronomy,
medicine, biosciences and renewable
energy. As early as 1894, Percival
Lowell located his observatory in
Flagstaff, and from the time he

Observatory.
discovered Pluto in 1930, Lowell
Observatory continues to be an active research facility
while also providing visitors the opportunity to view and
learn about our expanding universe. In the early 1960s,
Flagstaff played a large role in preparing
the Apollo astronauts for their missions
to the moon. The U.S. Geological
Survey Branch of Astrogeology was
established in Flagstaff due to the surrounding number of natural geological
landmarks that resembled the surface
of the moon. Field training for the
astronauts took place at Sunset Crater
Volcano National Monument, Meteor SenesTech research scientist.
Crater, Grand Canyon National Park and other areas in the
region. The USGS Branch of Astrogeology continues to be
a part of NASA's exploration of space. While Flagstaff’s
past is rich with scientific discovery, emerging research and
development companies call the city home, adding to its
strong scientific community. Flagstaff’s role in the lunar missions is described in the brochure “Flagstaff and the History of the
Apollo Missions,” available at the Visitor Center or for download

What can we do for you?
The Ponderosa Pine
Flagstaff boasts many superlatives,
but perhaps the most appropriate one
is the fact that the town is located in
the largest contiguous Ponderosa pine
forest in the world. The ecosystems
that surround Flagstaff span from
piñon-juniper woodland to alpine
tundra, but it is the Ponderosa pine
forest in-between that dominates the area.
This towering tree only grows at elevations between 6,000 and 8,000 feet,
making Flagstaff’s 7,000-foot elevation
the perfect home. Explore the outdoors
and admire this beautiful conifer,
with its characteristic long needles
and oversized seeded cones.
• Suggest the best places to visit or dine
based on your personal preferences.
• Give you easy-to-follow directions
anywhere in the Flagstaff area.
• Sell passes to popular attractions such
as the Grand Canyon, Red Rock Ranger
District and Grand Canyon Railway.
• Recommend attractions and activities
that match your time and interests.
• Provide insider tips on how best to
experience all that Flagstaff has to offer.

The following are tips to help you feel your best
and experience the beautiful high country in
optimal comfort: 1.) At high altitude the sun is
more intense and it is possible to experience
fatigue and shortness of breath. Drink plenty of
water, rest often and wear sunglasses and a hat.
2.) Spending time outdoors at 7,000 feet can lead
to sunburn on cool and cloudy days as quickly as
on warm and sunny ones. Remember to apply
sunscreen before you venture out. 3.) Make
layered clothing a key factor when packing. Be
prepared for possible (and sudden) changing
weather including snowfall in the winter months.
4.) Now that you know, get out and enjoy the
great outdoors.
