Bumstead, Arizona

Bumstead was located in the 1950s on a branch of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Rail Road connecting Litchfield Park, Arizona with the main branch of the AT&SF at El Mirage, Arizona. At least by the late 1950s this line broke off further down the line to connect Waddell, Arizona as well.

The area historically referred to as Bumstead is now located within the communities of El Mirage and Glendale, Arizona.
