Along with Cyrus Avery of Tulsa, Springfield's John Woodruff is credited as one of the major visionaries behind Route 66. After Congress passed legislation for the creation of national roadways, the pair lobbied successfully for a route between Chicago and Los Angeles. On April 30, 1926, the route was titled 66 and got a dedication placard in downtown Springfield.
