History
Hualapai Reservation
Route 66 enters the Hualapai Reservation about three miles west of Grand Canyon Caverns and stays on it for some sixteen miles, through the tribal capital at Peach Springs, to a point just east of Truxton. The reservation was created by an executive order of President Chester A. Arthur on 4 January 1883, after General Orlando Willcox had set the land aside by a military order of 8 July 1881.
