First Day City: The First Day of Issue ceremony took place at the National Postal Forum, held at the Phoenix Convention Center in Phoenix, Arizona.
History the stamp represents: From Chicago to the Pacific Coast, Route 66 carried the dreams and determination of a nation on the move. Established in 1926, the highway linked small towns and major cities across eight states, guiding travelers through Midwestern farmland, across the plains, and into the deserts and mountains of the Southwest. During the Dust Bowl of the 1930s, it became a lifeline for families seeking new beginnings. In more prosperous years, it beckoned vacationers and adventurers eager to explore the promise of the open road.
Along its path rose neon-lit motels, trading posts, roadside cafés, and bold architectural landmarks that transformed a simple highway into a cultural phenomenon. From quiet Kansas towns to the spectacle of Texas attractions and the desert romance of Arizona and California, Route 66 offered not just passage, but experience. Its final miles into Los Angeles symbolized arrival, opportunity, and the enduring appeal of the American West.
In 2026, the United States Postal Service issued eight Route 66 stamps to celebrate this legendary highway. Featuring photographs by David Schwartz, who spent more than a decade documenting its landscapes, architecture, and roadside artistry, the stamps honor the resilience, creativity, and spirit that continue to define America’s Main Street.
