In 1939, residents of the area began efforts to incorporate so they could provide safety and necessary services for their growing community. Several of the original petitioners for incorporation lived in the Valley View subdivision, which later became the
Wright Aeronautical
plant, where many black migrants from the South came to help manufacture the famous
B-29 bomber
