Truxton is an unincorporated community and census-designated place (CDP) in Mohave County, in the U.S. state of Arizona.

The Atlantic and Pacific Railroad section across northern Arizona was built in the early 1880s, and later acquired by the Santa Fe (now BNSF Railway), and included a stop at Truxton.

Modern Truxton began to grow in 1951 when a few people moved in on Route 66, just northeast of the railstop, in anticipation of the building of the proposed Bridge Canyon Dam which would be nearby and would generate commerce.

Though the dam was never built, business grew from Route 66 traffic coming through the very sparsely populated area.

[5] When Interstate 40 opened in 1978 and bypassed this stretch of U.S. 66, it greatly reduced traffic and commerce in Truxton.
