In 1920, the Dunlap Tire and Rubber Company built a cotton gin to process the region’s newly planted cotton crop. But when prices dropped within a year, farmers returned to alfalfa, grain, and dairy. Cotton boomed again in the 1930s, and gins, used to separate fibers from seeds, became common across the Valley with fields of white, fluffy cotton soon filling the landscape.
