About Arcadia, California: The Suburban Oasis on the Mother Road
Arcadia offers a vibrant and distinctly suburban experience on Route 66, evolving from originally being a residential haven in the San Gabriel Valley in the early 1900s. Unlike the rugged mining towns of the Mojave, Arcadia presented a more refined stop, characterized by its tranquil, tree-lined streets and historic homes that speak to its early development as a desirable community. This "Community of Homes" provided a refreshing contrast to the long, desolate stretches of the Mother Road.
The city gained significant fame and attracted a diverse crowd with the opening of Santa Anita Park racetrack in 1934. This prestigious venue quickly became a playground for Hollywood stars and a glamorous destination for Route 66 travelers, blending the excitement of thoroughbred racing with the allure of California's burgeoning celebrity culture. For those seeking a taste of the good life, Arcadia was the perfect stop.
Today, Arcadia maintains its blend of suburban charm and Mother Road nostalgia. Landmarks like the iconic Route 66 Denny's (located at 7 E Huntington Dr.), which originally operated as Van's, serve as a testament to the highway's enduring legacy. Its pleasant atmosphere and historic architecture provide a refreshing detour, inviting travelers to experience a different facet of its storied past.
