About Goodyear

Our Story

Goodyear was founded in 2017 with a vision to become the go-to news source for all things related to Goodyear, Arizona—a vibrant city known for its rich history and thriving community. We emerged from the belief that there was a growing need for an independent platform to provide accurate, up-to-date information about local events, businesses, and the unique culture that makes Goodyear tick.

Over the years, we've been proud to mark several milestones:

  • 2018: We launched our first series on local history, gaining traction among residents eager to explore their city's past.
  • 2019: Goodyear became the premier platform for coverage of the annual Desert Southwest Arts Festival, attracting artists and art enthusiasts from across the region.
  • 2020: Amidst the global pandemic, we shifted our focus to provide essential updates and resources for the local community, earning recognition for our reliable reporting.
  • 2021: We expanded our team and launched a successful podcast, "Goodyear Insights," featuring interviews with local leaders and entrepreneurs.
