Peach Springs is located on the Hualapai Indian Reservation. When U.S. Route 66 was developed this became an important exchange point between the Hualapai and passing motorists. After a long day driving on primitive roads in early cars the chance to rest, restock and purchase souvenirs was appreciated by the tourists and the Indians benefited from the cash flow. Interstate 40 bypassed Peach Springs and the tourist trade dried up in 1978. The building is now occupied by the tribal Department of Fish and Game.
