The town was named after 2 families in the late 1800's; the Flakes who came to settle here and a man named Erastus Snow who came to dedicate the land for these Latter Day Saint settlers - thus the name Snowflake. We do get a little snow here as we are approx a mile above sea level on a desert plateau.

I've heard the name and for some reason when I read your subject line that's what I thought of. I travel a lot (driving I-40) between Las Vegas, across Ariz to New Mexico and back, sometimes to Phoenix area too.

We are about 30 miles south of I-40 out of Holbrook.
