Question: Route 66 State Park is located on the former site of a town evacuated in which year ?
Context: U.S. Route 66 (US 66, Route 66) covered 401 mi as part of a former United States Numbered Highway in the state of Arizona.  The highway ran from west to east, starting in Needles, California, through Kingman and Seligman to the New Mexico state line as part of the historic US 66 from Santa Monica, California, to Chicago, Illinois.  The highway was decommissioned in 1985, although portions remain as State Route 66 (SR 66). Times Beach is a ghost town in St. Louis County, Missouri, United States, 17 mi southwest of St. Louis and 2 mi east of Eureka.  Once home to more than two thousand people, the town was completely evacuated early in 1983 due to a dioxin contamination that made national headlines.  It was the largest civilian exposure to dioxin in the country's history. U.S. Route 66 (US 66, Route 66) is a former east–west United States Numbered Highway, running from Santa Monica, California to Chicago, Illinois.  In Missouri, the highway ran from downtown St. Louis at the Mississippi River to the Kansas state line west of Joplin.  The highway was originally Route 14 from St. Louis to Joplin and Route 1F from Joplin to Kansas.  It underwent two major realignments (in the St. Louis and Joplin areas) and several lesser realignments in the cities of St. Louis, Springfield, and Joplin.  Current highways covering several miles of the former highway include Route 100, Route 366, Route 266, Route 96, and Route 66.  Interstate 44 (I-44) approximates much of US 66 between St. Louis and Springfield. Route 66 is a state highway located in Monmouth County, New Jersey, United States.  It runs 3.62 mi between Route 33 in Tinton Falls and Route 35 at County Route 16 on the border of Ocean Township and Neptune Township, just to the west of Asbury Park.  The route serves as an important connector between the Garden State Parkway to the west and Route 18 and Asbury Park to the east.  It runs concurrent with County Route 16 from Bowne/Wayside Roads to the eastern terminus at Route 35.  Route 66, which varies from a two-lane undivided road to a four-lane divided highway, passes through commercial areas for most of its length with some wooded areas.  The route was created in 1953, replacing what had been Route 33-35 Link.  There is currently a proposal to widen the two-lane portion between Jumping Brook Road and Wayside Road in order to better handle the traffic that uses this road. Shea's Gas Station Museum Center piece The Mahan Filling Station located on Route 66 in Springfield, Illinois was transformed from a working Texaco, and later Marathon, station into a world-renowned museum by owner Bill Shea and his wife Helen.  The museum contains an eclectic mix of vintage gas station memorabilia collected over the last fifty years including the original gas pumps, wooden phone booths, signs, photos, and other mementos reminiscent of old Route 66 service stations.  In February 2000, the former Mahan's Station, rumored to be the oldest filling station in Illinois, was moved 21 miles to its current location at Fulgenzi's.  It has since been fully restored.  The museum’s guestbook boasts visitors from all over Europe and Asia and has become a destination for international travelers exploring the Mother Road.  Due to his commitment to preserving Route 66 history and gas station memorabilia, plus his many years of quality service to his customers, Bill Shea and his shop were inducted into the Route 66 Hall of Fame in 1993.  The entire Shea family was inducted in 2002.  Bill Shea died in December 2013 and the gas station was sold.  The museum contents were auctioned in 2015.  The Fulgenzi Family Saved the Museums Center piece, The Mahan Filling Station and its now open to the Public at Fulgenzi's Pizza & Pasta 1168 Sangamon Avenue, Springfield, Illinois 62702 . Paris Springs Junction is a small unincorporated community in Lawrence County, Missouri, United States.  It lies along former U.S. Route 66 (now a county road west of the junction of Route 266 and Route 96), four miles (6 km) west of Halltown.  Paris Springs Junction started as a few business on Route 66 and, with the decommissioning of that highway, has now become only homes.  It was so named because of a former town named Paris Springs to the north.  That town was founded in 1855 and survived until the time of Route 66's decommissioning. Angel Delgadillo is a businessowner in Seligman, Arizona who has been dubbed the 'guardian angel' of U.S. Route 66.  He is the main founder of the Historic Route 66 Association of Arizona, established in 1987 to campaign for "Historic Route 66" signage on the former US highway; similar initiatives have since been established in every U.S. Route 66 state. Route 66 State Park is a state park in the U.S. state of Missouri, located on the former site of the town of Times Beach.  It is a 419 acre park located less than 1 mi east of Eureka. West Tyson County Park is a county park in the U.S. state of Missouri consisting of 673 acres located in St. Louis County east of the town of Eureka.  The park is located north of Interstate 44, west of Tyson Research Center, east of Route 66 State Park, and south and east of the Meramec River. U.S. Route 66 (US 66, Route 66) is a part of a former United States Numbered Highway in the state of California that ran from the west in Santa Monica on the Pacific Ocean through Los Angeles and San Bernardino to Needles at the Arizona state line.  It was truncated during the 1964 renumbering and its signage removed in 1974.  The highway is now mostly replaced with several streets in Los Angeles, State Route 66 (SR 66), Interstate 15 (I-15) and I-40.
