History
Thomas F. McMillan built a cabin at the base of Mars Hill in 1876, this building was the first permanent structure of Flagstaff. During the 1880s the town continued to grow and flourish with timber, sheep, and cattle helping to drive the economy. Due to its proximity to the transcontinental railroad and Route 66 the city continued to grow in later years as Americans became mobile. More recently in 1987 the city's residents and local government have worked to restore downtown for shopping and business use.
