Davenport and Historic Route 66:
"Located on the famous Route 66 "Curve" midway between Okla. City and Tulsa, Davenport is a bustling little town where travellers can still drive on one of the few strips of original Portland cement that was laid for the Mother Road highway. From the "Y" at 7th and Broadway one can drive south on two blocks of cement paving to the brick pavement that was laid with Davenport bricks in 1925-26.
The town's brick-paved Broadway is now on the National Register of Historic Places and is a fun diversion for travellers on the Mother Road." Text Source: (
