| About
Tempe AZ |
The first settlers to move
to the Tempe area, south of the Salt River and east of Phoenix, were Hispanic
families from southern Arizona.
They helped construct the first two irrigation canals, the Kirkland-McKinney Ditch
and the San Francisco Canal, and started small farms to the east and west of a
large butte (Tempe Butte).
The town was named Tempe in 1879 by"Lord" Darrell Duppa, an Englishman
who helped establish Phoenix.
The Maricopa and Phoenix Railroad, built in 1887, crossed the Salt River at Tempe,
linking the town to the nation's growing transportation system. |
After World War II, Tempe began growing at a rapid rate as veterans and others
moved to the city.
Today, Tempe is well known nationally as the home of the Fiesta Bowl and the Arizona
Cardinals.
It is the seventh largest city in Arizona, with a strong modern economy based
on commerce, tourism, and electronics manufacturing.
