Company History
Incorporated in 1900, Winslow was named for either Edward F. Winslow, president of St. Louis and San Francisco Rail Road, which owned one half of the old Atlantic and Pacific Railroad, or Tom Winslow, a prospector who lived in the area.
Winslow serves as the transportation hub of the northeast Arizona. It hosts the Winslow-Lindbergh Regional Airport; a BNSF Railway switching yard and crew change facility; an AMTRAK station adjoining the historic La Posada Hotel; and the only urban-scale Interstate 40 interchange in the region. Winslow also offers the region’s most affordable residential, commercial, and industrial property featuring excellent development potential and easy access to regional and national markets.
The last Harvey House (La Posada Hotel) opened in 1930. It was designed by Mary Colter. The hotel closed in 1957 and was used by the Santa Fe Railway for offices. The railroad abandoned La Posada in 1994 and announced plans to tear it down. It was bought and restored and it currently serves as a hotel.
U.S. Route 66 was originally routed through the city. A contract to build Interstate 40 as a bypass north of Winslow was awarded at the end of 1977. I-40 replaced U.S. Route 66 in Arizona in its entirety.
Winslow achieved national fame in 1972 in the Eagles / Jackson Browne song “Take it Easy” which has the line “standing on a corner in Winslow, Arizona."
