The terrain around Winslow is high desert on the Colorado Plateau, which has influenced both the town’s layout and its local economy. Founded in 1880 as a railroad town on the Atlantic and Pacific line, it remains closely tied to rail travel: La Posada, the 1930 railway hotel designed by Mary Colter, stands beside the tracks. Historic Route 66 crosses Winslow, while Standin’ on the Corner Park recalls the city named in the Eagles’ “Take It Easy.” The Little Colorado River runs through the broader northeastern Arizona region, and Homolovi State Park preserves archaeological sites associated with the ancestral Hopi.
