How "Flag staff,
AZ" got its name:
To celebrate the
July 4th Centennial, legend has it that pilgrims trimmed the bark from
a tall pine tree, then used it as a staff for the American flag.
Left standing, the staff became a much used trail marker. When, in 1881,
a post office and a tiny tent camp was erected, the settlers agreed to
name the area "Flag Staff." Since then the name stuck.

San Francisco Peaks
series of photographs |

|
Flagstaff rests on the baseline
of a volcano that last erupted about 50,000 years ago...a relatively recent
when you consider the age of the Earth. You can tell by looking
at the jagged lines the San Francisco peaks
make--little erosion over time = recent eruptions and creation. |
