The planting of Egyptian cotton in the Litchfield Park area by the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company began in 1916. Two tracts of land were purchased by the company. One became the city of Goodyear and the other became Litchfield Park. Egyptian cotton was the key component in creating tire cords for the company. As a matter of fact, Paul Litchfield was a Goodyear vice-president for which the city was named. Litchfield was credited with coming up with the ideal location for growing the cotton needed for manufacturing. Then in the 1960's, the area was developed into a master planned community.
