3-Minute History: Route 66

Narrator: Frank Gruber Route 66, the "Mother Road," ends in Santa Monica. Originally bypassing the city, Santa Monica lobbied hard for the iconic highway's extension, and was ultimately successful in 1935. Despite initial approval in 1931 and even celebratory signage, concerns about official highway rules to a reroute. The city continued to promote their preferred route, and Route 66 unofficially became the "Will Rogers Highway" in his honor. The Penguin Coffee Shop (now Mel’s) was the official terminus and the Santa Monica Pier remains its symbolic end point.
