Flagstaff at a Glance
Downtown Flagstaff is centrally located between the Grand Canyon to the north, and the city Phoenix to the south. Flagstaff is established in a beautiful country setting that is full of tall, sweeping pine trees and mountainous terrain. Established in 1882, the City of Flagstaff has a rich, diverse history and culture. Tonto National Forest creates a vast mountain range west of Flagstaff. Native American reservations and New Mexico lie to the east of Flagstaff.
Downtown Flagstaff is laid out like a grid, with main roads going north and south, east and west in city block formations. Several major roads provide access to tourist destinations and popular recreation sites. Highway 180 is the main road leading to the Grand Canyon from Flagstaff, which is approximately 75 miles south of this famous national landmark. Historic U.S. 66 takes travelers into the northern parts of New Mexico. Interstate 17 follows a southern path to Phoenix, the Valley of the Sun.
Downtown Flagstaff is a large, industrialized college town. Lumbering, ranching, and the railroad have created an interesting local history. Traditionally, Native American tribes, particularly the Navajo Nation, have influenced art, food, and recreation in the area. Education and tourism have become contemporary mainstays for citizens of Flagstaff.
Flagstaff is well known for being the home of Lowell Observatory, the very site that discovered Pluto in 1930. Fifteen years later the United States Naval Observatory Flagstaff Station established itself in Flagstaff, creating a strong astronomical presence in the city.
