The city incorporated in 1923 due to the need for higher tax revenue and bonded debt limits to fund civic improvements like roads, sewers, streetlights, a city hall, and parks. The city grew rapidly in the 1920s and 1930s. During World War II, industries like General Motors and Firestone Tire moved in, providing thousands of jobs.
