History

Littlefield was first settled by Latter-day Saints, also known as Mormons, in 1865.
Littlefield is home to the Littlefield Unified School District, the geographically largest school district in Arizona.
Littlefield, Beaver Dam, and Scenic have the distinction of being the only towns in Arizona along I-15. Owing to its location in the Arizona Strip, northwest of Grand Canyon National Park and west of the Virgin River, it is isolated by hundreds of miles from the rest of the state. Travel to other towns within Arizona requires crossing through either Nevada or Utah, or routing through unpaved roads to the rest of Arizona's road network.
The Virgin River Gorge is located just to the east of Littlefield.
