More on Flagstaff AZ
Flagstaff was named established on the centennial of the United States on 4 July, 1876. The area was first surveyed by Lieutenant Edward Fitzgerald Beale in 1855. Lieutenant Beale had his men cut a flagpole of Ponderosa Pine to fly the flag of the United States, and hence the site became known as Flagstaff.

Flagstaff is the site of the Lowell Observatory. The site was chosen by astronomer Percival Lowell in 1894, who found it ideal for putting up a telescope. Two years later, the Clark telescope was installed. It was here in 1930 that the planet Pluto was discovered. The Clark Telescope was also used to map the moon for the lunar expeditions of the Apollo program in the 1960's. In recognition of the role Flagstaff played in astronomy, the asteroid 2118 was named after the city.
