  7. Gallup started as a stagecoach stop and a couple of shops back in the 1860s. The railroad chose Gallup as a stop on the western transcontinental route, establishing an office prior in 1881. This pulled workers to town to collect their pay from David Gallup, the paymaster. Hence the phrase, "going to Gallup." Eventually the railroad replaced the stagecoach, only to be replaced decades later by the automobile & Route 66. Throughout, Gallup is a place for travelers.
