History
Littlefield was first settled by Latter-day Saints, also known as Mormons, in 1865.
Littlefield is the former home of the Littlefield Unified School District, the geographically largest school district in Arizona. The only remnant of the school district in Littlefield itself is the historic adobe Littlefield Schoolhouse, currently under renovation.
Geography
Littlefield is in the northwestern corner of Mohave County (and the state of Arizona), along Interstate 15, with access from Exit 8. It is bordered to the north, across I-15, by the community of Beaver Dam. I-15 leads southwest 10 miles (16 km) to Mesquite, Nevada, and 90 miles (140 km) to Las Vegas, while to the northeast the highway enters the Virgin River Gorge and leads 29 miles (47 km) to St. George, Utah.
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 driving on unpaved roads to the rest of Arizona's road network.
Demographics
The city is made up of 72.7 percent Hispanic, 27.3 percent White, 0 percent Black or Asian.
Education
The CDP is in the Littlefield Unified School District.
