In 1866 the Atlantic and Pacific Railroad was formed to construct a railroad from Springfield, Missouri to the Pacific Ocean, a distance of 2,000 miles.

In the summer and fall of 1882 the railroad was directly responsible for the founding and development of the City of Flagstaff.

This plaque is to commemorate one hundred years of service to this community by the Transcontinental Railroad.
