Tempe, Arizona
Built by Entrepreneurs and Innovators.
Tempe isn’t your ordinary city. Our community got its start because someone figured out a way to cross an uncrossable river. Charles Trumbull Hayden turned that knowledge into a thriving ferry business. Soon, an entire city evolved.
Solving problems creatively is part of our city's DNA. Nobel Prize-winners, Olympic gold medalists and best-selling authors are part of our community, sharing their talents with the next generation of creative thinkers. Bands like the Gin Blossoms, The Refreshments and Authority Zero got their start here.
Tempe is a vibrant and active community. Home to Tempe Town Lake, Tempe Center for the Arts, Historic Mill Avenue, Arizona State University's BIG 12 Sundevil Sports, and the oldest comedy club in Arizona, Tempe Improv. With over 40 events and festivals in our downtown and lake district you can find something fun and relaxing to do any time you want.
