Route 66 Association is the generic name of the non-profit associations established for preservation, restoration and promotion of the historic U.S. Route 66. They exist in all 8 Route 66 states: Illinois, Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and California.
The first Route 66 Association was established on U.S. Route 66 in Arizona by Seligman businessperson Angel Delgadillo. An initial meeting of 15 people on February 18, 1987 in Seligman led to efforts which yielded a state-issued "Historic Route 66" designation for a portion of highway 66 between Kingman and Seligman later that year. By 1990, similar organisations had been established in all eight US route 66 states.

Famous quotes containing the words route and/or association:
“By a route obscure and lonely,
Haunted by ill angels only,
Where an eidolon, named Night,
On a black throne reigns upright,
I have reached these lands but newly
From an ultimate dim Thule—
From a wild weird clime that lieth, sublime,
Out of space—out of time.”
—Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)
“With all their faults, trade-unions have done more for humanity than any other organization of men that ever existed. They have done more for decency, for honesty, for education, for the betterment of the race, for the developing of character in man, than any other association of men.”
—Clarence Darrow (1857–1938)
