Litchfield Park

Discover Litchfield Park

Litchfield Park is a planned residential community, only 2 miles north of I-10 and 16 miles west of central Phoenix located in Maricopa County. It is a unique suburban community that offers a casual small town feel with beautiful homes, charming downtown shops, the celebrated Wigwam Golf, Tennis, and Red Door Spa Resort, award-winning schools and friendly neighbors. In 1987, Litchfield Park was incorporated.

In 1916, Akron, Ohio-based Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company purchased a huge land parcel (ultimately 14,000 acres) 16 miles west of the then-fledgling city of Phoenix. The objective was to grow Egyptian long-staple cotton to use in tire cords. With the advent of World War I, Goodyear Tire could no longer obtain their cotton supply from overseas. This Arizona project was developed by Paul Litchfield, then a junior executive with Goodyear Tire who was sent here from Akron, Ohio.

Litchfield Park became the headquarters for Goodyer Farms which had thousands of acres under cultivation in the area; and the company town was given Litchfield’s name in 1926. From 1931 to 1944, this area also became the test site for Goodyear auto, truck and tractor tires. In 1960′s Goodyear Tire designed a master plan for development of Litchfield Park and several other neighboring communities into self-sufficient villages. Although this concept was never fully completed, positive aspects of the village design can still be seen today in the community.
