Editing Wilhoit, Arizona (section)

==History==
In the mid-1920s, a road was being built to connect [[Phoenix, Arizona|Phoenix]] and [[Prescott, Arizona|Prescott]], by way of [[Congress, Arizona|Congress]] and [[Yarnell, Arizona|Yarnell]]. There, a man by the name of Frank Wilhoit built culverts for the road, and then later homesteaded that area with his wife, Christina. The Wilhoit family then built a gas station and garage on one side of the road, and a restaurant on the other. Mr. Wilhoit operated the garage and Mrs. Wilhoit operated the restaurant which remained busy, as foreigners to the town needed a place to eat, and that they also needed an auto-garage considering tires in the 1920s did not hold up well on gravel roads. Mr. and Mrs. Wilhoit would later leave the area and move to [[Wickenburg, Arizona|Wickenburg]] around 1930, but the small area retained the name and the area later evolved into a place well known for its mobile homes.<ref>Arizona Republic, September 22, 1987, Page 35</ref>
