In 1926 the Prescott to Flagstaff highway was State Route 79. In 1940 or 1941, it was changed to US 89A and remained so until US 89 south of I-40 was obliterated in 1992. Today it is State Route 89A and in places is also known as Historic 89A.

Flagstaff
The Flagstaff of early US 89 or US 89A was a radically different place than it is today. Below is a view looking north of US 89 itself on to San Francisco Street. The photographer would have been standing in US 89 (AKA: Rt. 66) to get this photo. The source of this photo gives a very concise description of how Flagstaff was so named.)
