Ash Fork started when the Atlantic and Pacific Railroad, later known as the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railroad, pushed through in October 1882. Established initially as only a railroad siding, it was named by F.W. Smith, General Superintendent of the railroad, for the many ash trees growing on the townsite. (source: LegendsOfAmerica.com)
This historic community features the Ash Fork Route 66 Museum, located at 901 W. Old Route 66, which displays not only Route 66 memorabilia but more exhibits and information on area history.
