Foxboro Boys Prep Ranch was located 26 miles south of Flagstaff. In 1949 it became coeducational and was renamed Tocaloma-Foxboro Ranch. The ranch was later used as a movie set.

Rainbow Forest Lodge was a Fred Harvey establishment at Petrified Forest.

It is possible that Foxboro Ranches was the precursor to the development known today as Foxboro Ranch Estates.
