Sanford
Sanford was founded after the war as Adamsville by former Confederate Fred Adams. When the post office was established in 1871, the town was renamed to Sanford by Richard McCormick, who siezed the opportunity to backstab his old rival Adams by naming the town after a Union Army officer. It's possible to determine how long someone has lived in the area by whether they call it Adamsville or Sanford. Loacted on the Gila River in the agricultural breadbasket of Arizona, Sanford is unusual for a postwar community in that the majority of its buildings are of adobe construction. The largest building is the flour mill, but there is a thriving business district as well. Sanford is unusually rowdy for a farm town with fights breaking out a couple of times each week and most months seeing a stabbing or shooting. Law enforcement is notable for its absence.
