Former US Route 99 in Westmorland

[Max Rockatansky]

Westmorland is a city located in Imperial Valley in the Sonoran Desert of Imperial County, California.  Westmorland presently is occupied by the corridors of California State Route 78 and California State Route 86 but was once on the corridor of US Route 99.  US Route 99 was aligned on Main Street within Westmorland from 1926 until it was truncated to downtown Los Angeles in 1963.  This blog will explore the history of US Route 99 in Westmorland.  Above as the blog cover US Route 99 can be seen passing through Westmorland during 1936 in a Pomona Public Library photo.
