Thornton Road — Henry D. Thornton, a native of rural Illinois, moved to Casa Grande to farm a quarter section west of Casa Grande in 1920. Thornton had grown up learning that trade but went to a polytechnic school in Peoria, Illinois, to study watchmaking. In 1941, Thornton and his wife opened Thornton’s, a jewelry store, at Florence and First streets.
