History
The Ho Kham Indians first lived in the area and built a canal to support their agriculture. In the 1400s, they abandoned the frontier and some individuals and families remained nearby.
In 1865, Fort McDowell was built upstream of the Salt River and a new town could be built downstream of it. In order to supply food to the forts, U.S. army soldiers and Hispanic workers were hired to grow grain and raise livestock, and in less than a year, a small camp was built near the river, and after the Hohkham Indians had disappeared, the first permanent community was established (the land was developed in Phoenix from 1867 to 1868). On the east and west sides of Hayden Bute, two clearing areas, the Hayden Ferry and the Sun Pablo, were built, named after the ferry operated by Charles T. Hayden. This delivery became an important means of crossing the river in the area. The Tempi Irrigation Canal Company was soon established to provide water for growing Murasakiumago (Japanese white horse) palm, wheat, barley, oats, and cotton.
The pioneer Darrell DUPPA was suggested the name of the tempi, which was adopted in 1879, and the Salt River Valley, close to a height of 300 feet (90 meters), was likened to a valley of tempi near Mount Olympus in Greece.
In 1885, the 13th Arizona Quasi-State Council selected Tempi as the site of construction for Quasi-State Normal School, which later changed to Arizona Normal School, Arizona State Teacher College, and Arizona State College, and finally became Arizona State University.
The Maricopa and Phoenix Railway, which was built in 1887, crossed the Salt River at Tempi and became part of the growing transport system in the country. The Tempi Land Improvement Company was formed and sold the area of the town that became a boom. Tempi has become an economic hub for surrounding agricultural areas. In 1894, the city system was established.
In 1911, Roosevelt Dam was completed, and the water was compensated for by farmers in the larger gorge. As the former president, Theodore Roosevelt, on his way to the inauguration of the dam, praised the work of the people in central Arizona and predicted the town would prosper in the future. Within a year, Arizona was recognized as the 48th state in the United States, and the Salt River continued to develop.
In the 20th and 21st centuries, not only did Tempi expand as a suburb of Phoenix, but he also developed as the center of education and the center of commerce in itself.
Economy


Tempi has two companies that belong to the Fortune 500: the American Airways Group (formerly West Airlines) and the Insight Enterprises Company. Other headquarters are Lyimlite Networks, Liferock, First Solar, Fulton Holmes and Mobil Mini. Cold Stone Creamy, an ice cream company, originally has its headquarters in Tempi, and its No. 1 store continues to operate in Tempi's McRington Drive South 3330. There is also the largest campus at Arizona State University. After holding the Fiesta Bowl for a long time, the Bowl Championship Series game was moved to Phoenix University Stadium in Glendale in 2007. The Insight Bowl is now held. Edward Jones Investment has a regional headquarters in Tempi.
Tempi has several large theaters including the Gage Auditorium and the Tempi Art Center.
On the night of New Year's Eve, the Insight Fiesta Bowl Block Party, one of the largest New Year's festivals in Japan, is held. At the event, a national-level band usually holds concerts and several other local and national bands participate. The Gage Auditorium was one of three venues where the debate of candidates was held during the 2004 U.S. presidential election, and the 30th Super Bowl was held at Sandeville Stadium. It is also Anaheim Angels's spring camp.
Arizona's largest shopping mall, Arizona Mills, is near the border with neighboring Guadalupe. Near the southern border, there was the first IKEA branch in Arizona. The Tempi Marketplace, which performs live performances, water and laser shows at large outdoor mall, is just north of Tempi Town Lake.
Mill Avenue, just west of Hayden Bute, is a shopping and entertainment district popular with pedestrians and students. With the completion of the Tempi Town Lake, the development of commerce and high rise buildings along the reservoir has continued, rapidly changing the skyline of Mill Avenue and the center of Tempi.

The reason why the population ratio below the poverty line is high is because many students live there, and it is not reflected in the income of the whole area. |
