FOREWORD In l9l6 the Goodyear Tire 84 Rubber Company established a farm at what is now Litchfield Park, Arizona. At Litchfield Park, an important part of the development of agriculture in the sandy desert of Arizona has taken place. ln order to operate a farming project such as this, a great number of people were necessary. It was only natural that a school be built to accom- modate the children of these pioneers of Arizona agriculture. ln l9l8 the people established an elementary unit. Ten years later the growing number of high school students made it nec- essary to add a high school to the school system. Meanwhile, several interesting agricultural experiments already had been undertaken on the Goodyear ranch in crop rotation and cattle feeding, and the possibilities of farm mechanization in the fu- ture were intriguing. Along with the further development and expansion of the farm, was the enlargement of the townsite, Litchfield Park. Pleasant homes were built and maintained by the Goodyear Company and a shopping district for the conven- ience of the residents of Litchfield Park and the surrounding areas was constructed. Since the era of automobiles was not yet thriving in Arizona the lives of the people were given to their work, their homes, and the school. Each of these three major developments, Goodyear Farms, Litchfield Park, and the Litchfield Park Schools, have made a large contribution to one another.
