It is the final resting place of many Mexican migrants and Native-Americans who worked in the Goodyear Farms and the Wigwam Resort in Litchfield Park.

[2] Paul Weeks Litchfield was an American industrialist, born in Boston, Massachusetts, who in 1900 became the superintendent of the Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company plant in Akron, Ohio.

He did become interested in the Salt River Valley area and convinced the Goodyear to establish the Southwest Cotton Company in Phoenix.

This cemetery was founded by Paul W. Litchfield in 1917 for the private use of hundreds of legally imported aliens and other employees whose service was to cultivate raw desert into clean fields for planting cotton and other crops.

The restoration of this historic property could not be completed without the help of the community and Goodyear Farms, directed by Mr. Jose M. Villela, Historian and Dr. Grace Burruel Farnam Consultant.

When the community members found out they participated in a candlelight vigil set up by Avondale City Councilman Lorenzo Sierra.
