About Gallup
Gallup is a town in McKinley County, New Mexico, with a total area of 13.4 square miles entirely of land and a population of 20,209 people, one third having Native American origin. Gallup is the county seat of McKinley County.
Gallup was founded in 1891 as a railhead for the Atlantic and Pacific Railroad and it bears the name of David Gallup, paymaster for the Atlantic and Pacific Railroad.
Being located in the center of the Native American lands and because of the presence of tribes such as Navajo, Zuni and Hopi, Gallup is also known as the "Indian Capital of the World".
Gallup is well known for the famous Route 66 running through. In 2003, the name of the US Highway 666 has been replaced with Route 491 by the US and New Mexico Departments of Transportation because the number 666 is an evil symbol and many people in the area felt that the road in question was cursed.
Gallup is famous for its presence in the world of cinema. The Historic El Rancho Hotel welcomed many celebrities as John Wayne, Humphrey Bogart, Spencer Tracy, Katherine Hepburn and Kirk Douglas.
But first of all, Gallup stands as an example of how people of different races can live together in harmony. The city defended its black residents in front of discrimination in 1940 before the US Civil Right Movement. During World War II prevented 800 Japanese American residents from wartime internment. 600 Palestinian live there since 1970 working in arts or jewelry fields.
