On November 11, 1926, U.S. Route 66 was officially established, stretching 2,448 miles from Chicago, Illinois to Santa Monica, California and threading through the heart of America. Known as the Main Street of America, the Mother Road helped shape the nation's identity, inspiring generations of road-trippers, writers, musicians, and dreamers drawn to the freedom of the open highway. The centennial marks 100 years of Route 66's enduring place in American culture and history. Count down the days until the Route 66 100th Anniversary with our live countdown timer.
