History

The city of Goodyear in Arizona has a rich history that is closely tied to the Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company. Here is an overview of the city's history:

Early Settlement: The area where Goodyear is located was originally inhabited by various Native American tribes, including the Akimel O'odham (Pima) and the Pee Posh (Maricopa). European settlers began arriving in the mid-19th century.

Goodyear Farms: In 1917, the Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company, based in Akron, Ohio, purchased large tracts of land in the vicinity of Phoenix, Arizona. This land was used for cotton farming to provide the company with a stable supply of raw materials for tire production. The agricultural operations were known as Goodyear Farms.
