On Dec. 8, Tolleson’s new mayor and elected council members were sworn in during an online ceremony.
Before they leave office, they may be attending meetings at a new city hall.
With a population of just over 7,000, Tolleson has not experienced the explosive growth of neighbors like Goodyear and Buckeye.
While official numbers from this year’s census have not been released, the most recent U.S. Census figures show Tolleson has a population of 7,342, compared to 6,545 a decade ago, a 12% increase. In the same time, Litchfield Park increased by 32% (4,886 to 6,436), Buckeye by 56% (50,851 to 79,620), Avondale by 16% (76,132 to 87,931) and Goodyear by 33% (65,261 to 86,840).
