Litchfield Park

Welcome to Litchfield Park

Community Summary

A small incorporated City in Maricopa County, in the Phoenix West Valley, roughly 19 miles west of downtown Phoenix. It is bordered by Avondale to the southeast, Goodyear to the west/south, and Glendale to the north.

In 1916, Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company executive Paul Weeks Litchfield came to the Salt River Valley to secure land for long-staple cotton production, needed to supply tire cord during World War I — the same figure associated with the founding of Goodyear, AZ. He established Litchfield Ranch as headquarters for Goodyear's Southwest Cotton Company (later "Goodyear Farms"), eventually acquiring roughly 16,000 acres, and also built a winter estate there called "Rancho La Loma." The company town was officially named "Litchfield Park" in 1926 in his honor. What is now The Wigwam resort began in 1918 as the "Organization House," built as guest lodging for Goodyear executives, before reopening to the public on Thanksgiving Day 1929.

Litchfield Park incorporated as a City in 1987, at 3.3 square miles.

Population figures by date (Litchfield Park is much smaller and slower-growing than its West Valley neighbors):

• 2010 Census: 5,476
• 2020 Census: 6,847
• July 2025 Census Bureau estimate: 6,727 (a slight decline from the 2020 count)

Land area is approximately 3.28–3.31 square miles.

Sub-Communities & Neighborhoods

Verified as physically within Litchfield Park city limits:

• Old Town Litchfield Park — the historic core area
• The Village at Litchfield Park — an active HOA community
• Litchfield Greens — a residential neighborhood
• Cachet at the Wigwam — a condominium subdivision at 14200 W Village Pkwy

Excluded/corrected:

• "Rancho Santa Fe" is a neighborhood name that belongs to Avondale, AZ, not Litchfield Park; a same-named elementary school exists within the shared Litchfield Elementary School District, which creates a source of confusion, but the neighborhood itself is not in Litchfield Park.
• "Blue Horizon" / "Blue Horizon Park" could not be verified as an existing Litchfield Park park or neighborhood; the city's own official list of 11 parks does not include it. It appears to be a likely confusion with the unrelated "Blue Horizons" community and park in Buckeye, AZ.
• "Sunset Palms" could not be verified as a Litchfield Park name.
• Verrado is located in the City of Buckeye, not Litchfield Park (a shared school-district naming overlap is the likely source of confusion).
• "Wigwam Creek" (a residential subdivision) is explicitly outside Litchfield Park city limits per the city's own records — it should not be confused with The Wigwam resort itself, which is inside city limits.
