Cosnino in central Coconino County, Arizona, in 1925

By 1893, Cosnino was a railroad siding on the Santa Fe railroad. Two trains collided east of Cosnino in October 1893. [4]

Cosnino was the site of a telegraph office, which was closed in 1913, in favor of Winona, Arizona. [5]

The Cosnino community club was active in the 1910s [6] and 1920s. [7]

A schoolhouse was built in Cosnino in 1924. The Cosnino school was a one-room schoolhouse built one mile from the highway on Walnut Canyon Road, in what the Coconino Sun called "an ideal setting for a rural school". [8] The Cosnino school had an enrollment of 15 in 1926. [9] The school was unusual in that due to heavy snow in the winters, the annual vacation period ran from November to March. [10]

The Cosnino school was also used as a meeting house and was proposed as a location for Sunday school. [11] Community events were also held at the Cosnino schoolhouse. [12] The school in Cosnino was later integrated into the Flagstaff school system. [13]

Cosnino's population in the 1960 Census was 15. [14]

In the 1970s, Cosnino Arena, on Cosnino Road, was the site of 4-H and other agrarian events for area communities. [15] [16]

In 1976, proposals were put forward for a new subdivision in the area, called Cosnino Equestrian Estates. [17] The Cosnino Estates area was evacuated in 1988 after a train derailed near Cosnino Road. [18]

<span class="mw-page-title-main">History of Flagstaff, Arizona</span> Review of the topic

Flagstaff is a city in, and the county seat of, Coconino County in northern Arizona, in the southwestern United States. Established as a modern settlement in 1876 and incorporated as a city in 1928, the land had previously been lived on by native peoples of the southwest, primarily the Sinagua. Mountaineer Antoine Leroux then traveled the area, with Edward Fitzgerald Beale following in his footsteps and establishing a trail through the city in the mid-1800s. With a local spring, a small settlement grew by the wagon road, and the town was dominated by the McMillan, Riordan, and Babbitt families. Focused on agricultural pursuits, these families constructed some historic red stone buildings that still stand today.
