Historical Prelude[]
As the small, welcoming Oasis of Lizzie and Stanley began to attract more visitors, the young couple moved from the higher rocks to the flat desert terrain for expansion. The first project in the newly developing town was the traffic court, initiated around 1927, which established the initial legal framework and provided civic services such as the sheriff's district and the fire department. The construction of the courthouse was completed on April 19, 1929.
History[]
The Courthouse & Fire Department is the town's most significant building, the first to be designed and constructed in Radiator Springs. In Cars, here McQueen was accused in that building for vandalism, breaking up the road. As punishment, he was ordered by Doc Hudson to pave the road with Bessie. In front of the buildings, there is Stanley's statue, with some flowers around it, that Red loves watering. It appears in Cars Land located in Disney California Adventure, in which theme park guests walk pass it in order to board Radiator Springs Racers.
