The extensive Ponderosa pine forests which surround the community have been the key to its de• velopment into the leading commercial and travel center of Northern Arizona. The first settler was Edward Whipple, who operated a saloon near the Flagstaff spring in 1871. The second white man was F. F. McMillan, who settled north of the present Flagstaff. K The name "Flagstaff" comes from a pine tree beil stripped of its branches to serve as a "flagstaff" forflyii the American flag on the 100th anniversary of Independent Day, July 4, 1876. This "flagstaff" was said to be ne^rflifX where the Texaco tanks and the railroad tracks just south 6fV|<S Highway 66 are now. Highway 66 across Northern Arizona/^'* was used for many years as a wagon train route to California^, and the site of the "flagstaff" was a popular camping areaji The "flagstaff" stood for many years to guide other parti* ' along the trail. The lumber industry had its start from an early sawmi built in 1882. This mill was established to furnish ties fo the Atlantic and Pacific Railroad which was extended to Flag• staff that year. The Atlantic and Pacific subsequently be• came the Santa Fe's main trans - continental line through Arizona. At present, timber being harvested on a sustained yield basis supports an active wood products industry. Plagued by fires in its early history, Flagstaff was de• stroyed in 1884 and again in 1886. By 1891, Flagstaff was made county seat of the newly formed Coconino County, but it was not until May 26, 1894 that the City was incorporated.
