History

A cultural history of the Flagstaff region developed by the Coltons identified a wave of migration of Mogollon culture, designated the Angell focus. Dendrochronology has dated this to the period 1100–1125 CE, and it differed in the style of house-building from the associated Winona focus, which was linked to Hohokam society.[4]

The Atlantic and Pacific Railroad siding at Angell was completed by 1882.[5] As of 1950 the station featured cinder platforms, a pumphouse, water tank, a wye, and disused concrete bunkhouse.[6]
