Goodyear

The Sonoran Desert defines the setting of Goodyear — the city spreads across the flat western Phoenix basin, with the Estrella Mountains rising to the south. Goodyear began in 1917 when the Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company established a cotton-farming community here, growing long-staple cotton for tyre cords; its name still recalls that industrial origin. Today it forms part of the fast-growing West Valley, while Goodyear Ballpark hosts the Cleveland Guardians and Cincinnati Reds for Major League Baseball spring training. Nearby Estrella Mountain Regional Park protects desert trails and mountain foothills in Maricopa County.
