The Father of Route 66
Behind the famous Route 66 in America, there comes up the name of a Tulsa business, Cyrus Avery. He is known as the Father of the Route 66. This is because he was the one who came up with this idea, saw through the establishment phase and later promoted this route. He was the sole reason why this esteemed route passed through Oklahoma during its construction phase. Further, he was also instrumental in getting the highway ready by 1930.
