Local History
In 1855, then-Lieutenant Beale, surveyed a road from
the in New Mexico Fort Tejon in California, and passed over the present
day spot of the city of Flagstaff. The lieutenant had his men cut the
limbs from a straight pine tree in order to fly the United States flag.The
first recognized permanent settler arrived in 1876. Thomas F. McMillan
built a cabin at the base of Mars Hill on the west side of town. During
the 1880s, Flagstaff began to grow, opening its first post office and
attracting the booming railroad industry. The early economy was primarily
involved in timber, sheep and cattle. By 1886, Flagstaff was the largest
city on the main line between Albuquerque and the West Coast..Flagstaff
is also home to the Lowell Observatory. Founded in 1894, the observatory
was involved in the discovery of Pluto, and it's also the place where
V.M. Slipher gathered the first evidence to show that the universe is
expanding. |
Entertainment
The fantastic landscapes that surround the city can be toured by train, bike, bus, jeep, or ATV. The mountainous landscape also provides great opportunities for mountain and rock climbing, as well as horseback riding and river rafting. With its high elevation, Flagstaff is one of the few places in Arizona to receive plenty of snowfall, which turns it into a winter wonderland for skiers. For those who prefer Beethoven to Johnny Cash, there's the Flagstaff Symphony and three weekly concert series offered at Heritage Square every summer.
