Winona is a small unincorporated community in Coconino County in the northern part of the U.S. state of Arizona. It is located along U.S. Route 66 and was made famous in the song "(Get Your Kicks) on Route 66". It lies about thirteen miles east of Flagstaff and is deliberately out of sequence with the rest of the cities named in the song because of its near-miss: "Don't forget Winona." The author of the song, Bobby Troup, needed a word that rhymed with "Arizona". The population was once about 100, but currently there are no permanent residents.
