About Springfield, Missouri: The Birthplace
Some roads are born from necessity, but Route 66 was born from a name. And that name was born in the town of Springfield in the great state of Missouri. The city proudly claims its title as the "Birthplace of Route 66," a legacy forged by a telegram on April 30, 1926, which officially gave the new highway its iconic number.
Nestled in the heart of the Ozarks, Springfield is a city with a tough, enduring spirit. Springfield is a true crossroads where the rolling hills meet the open road. From its earliest days as the "Queen City of the Ozarks," Springfield has been a hub of commerce and connection, a place where a traveler could find everything they needed to continue the long journey.
Today, that legacy is celebrated with a sense of pride and grit. The Route 66 Car Museum is a shrine to the machines that tamed the Mother Road, while a drive through the historic alignments reveals glimpses of old-school motor courts and roadside taverns that have stood the test of time.
This is a place where history isn't just displayed in a museum: it's alive in the asphalt, the neon, its residents and the people who still travel the road that was born right here in the Queen City of the Ozarks.
