Originally, Seligman was called "Prescott Junction" because it was the railroad stop on the Santa Fe mainline junction with the Prescott and Arizona Central Railway Company feeder line running to [[Prescott, Arizona|Prescott]], in the [[Arizona Territory]].<ref name=seligmanhistory>{{cite web |url=http://www.seligmanhistory.com/history.html |website=Seligmanhistory.com |title=History of Seligman, Arizona |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20091230155328/http://www.seligmanhistory.com/history.html |archive-date=December 30, 2009 |access-date=February 8, 2021}}</ref> The [[Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway]] (AT&SF) had reached it in 1882.<ref name=seligmanhistory /> In 1886 it was renamed Seligman, after Jesse Seligman, one of the founders of [[J. & W.

The '''Seligman Commercial Historic District''' is a [[Historic district (United States)|historic district]] in central Seligman.<ref name=nps>[http://www.nps.gov/nr/travel/route66/seligman_historic_district_az.html National Park Service: Seligman Historic District on Route 66], A Discover Our Shared Heritage Travel Itinerary; accessed August 31, 2015.</ref> The historic district is along historic [[U.S. Route 66|Route 66]] in town, which was designated a historic highway by the state of Arizona in 1978.<ref>[http://www.seligmanazhistoricdistrict.com Seligmanazhistoricdistrict.com: The Seligman Historic District]</ref> The Seligman Commercial Historic District was placed on the [[National Register of Historic Places]] in 2005.<ref name=nris/>

The Seligman was on the original [[U.S. Route 66]] from 1926 through 1978, when [[Interstate 40]] bypassed it a few miles south.<ref name=history>[http://www.seligmanhistory.com/route66.html Seligmanhistory.com: Seligman History&nbsp;– Route 66]</ref><ref>[http://www.route66seligmanarizona.com Route66seligmanarizona.com: Seligman and historic Route 66]</ref> Seligman experienced its real heyday after World War II, when returning veterans and other motorists hit the road and made the Southwest a popular tourist destination.<ref name=nps/> The Seligman Commercial Historic District is roughly bounded by 1st and Lamport Sts. and Picacho and Railroad Aves. It was added to National Register of Historic Places on February 1, 2005, reference #04000511.

In 1987 Seligman gained its name "Birthplace of Historic Route 66" due to the efforts of Seligman residents, who convinced the State of Arizona to dedicate Route 66 a historic highway.<ref>[http://www.seligmanhistory.com Seligman Arizona Historical Society homepage]</ref> Seligman is the first stop heading west on the longest uninterrupted stretch of historic Route 66, running around {{Convert|160|mi|km}} to [[Topock, Arizona|Topock]] on the east side of the [[Colorado River]].<ref name=history /> (Note: this claim is about the '''historical''' Route 66 and is not to be construed as "the Birthplace of Route 66". [[U.S. Route 66|Route 66]] was established by the U.S. Congress on November 26, 1926, starting in Chicago, Illinois and ending in Los Angeles, California. The first sign recognizing this designation was posted in Springfield, Missouri on April 30, 1926, and it took over a decade to pave the full route in its entirety.)

===Seligman Depot===
[[File:Seligman-Territorial Jail-1860-1.jpg |thumb|250px|Territorial Jail (unauthentic)]]
At the western end of the town, directly west of the Roadkill Cafe, is a western town facade labeled "Seligman Depot" It includes 5 storefronts: A Livery, a "Tonsorial Parlor" (dentist), a hotel, a gun shop, and a Wells Fargo bank. There are no actual businesses residing behind the storefronts.  Between this "Depot" and the Roadkill Cafe is a log cabin with the word "JAIL" painted in white above the doorway; in front of the cabin is a painted metal sign which declares the cabin to be "1860 Arizona Territorial Jail". The sign further states: ''At one time, held such notorious outlaws like – Seligman Sam – Three Finger Jack – James Younger and many more in 1866 four indians escaped by tunneling from this small cell to the OK saloon. Four days later they were dead after a shootout with Marshal Carl "Curly" Bane''. Behind the "jail" is a corral that holds a buffalo for tourist viewing during the summer months.

The "Seligman Depot" and the "1860 Arizona Territorial Jail" are not authentic historical buildings, but owned by the Roadkill Cafe owners and built to attract tourists to the Cafe and the attached "OK Saloon". One should note that [[Arizona Territory]] did not exist until 1863, and [[Seligman, AZ|Seligman]] itself was not established until 1886 (per the city sign at the edge of town). Marshal Carl "Curly" Bane, the Indian jail escape and the list of outlaws are also fictitious. There are no local or other documents claiming any authenticity to any of the property; visitors are simply left to believe what they wish of the park.
