 | | When Goodyear found that Arizona’s climate and soil was similar to foreign sources, the company sent Litchfield to purchase land. |
 | | The town of Goodyear was incorporated as a city in November 1946. At that time, the town had 151 homes, 250 apartments, a grocery store, drug store, barber shop, beauty shop and service station. |
 | | In the 1980s, the 10,000 acres that remained of the original Goodyear Farms was sold to SunCor which developed much of the land into the Palm Valley master-planned, mixed-use community located north of I-10 in Goodyear. |
