Tempe, AZ

Tempe is a city located in Maricopa County and is named mainly after the Vale of Tempe in Greece, but it is also referred to as the Hayden’s Ferry. Tempe is well-known because it has ten sister cities that belong to Sister Cities International, providing opportunities to travel to one of the cities completely free of cost. It was voted the Best Overall Sister City Program in 2008.

History

Historically the city of Tempe was occupied by Hohokam Native Americans; in order to support their agriculture, they built canals so that the water could be more easily stored. However, in the late 15th century, they abandoned their settlement and moved far away from the city. Later, the U.S. military occupied the area and started to cultivate the area for food production. The next settlement was at Hayden Ferry, named after the ferry service. Tempe is also called Hayden Ferry since ferries became a symbol of their necessity to cross the Salt River. In time, more people started moving to the area. A school was built in Tempe that was later transformed into Arizona State University.

Arizona State University

Arizona State University is located within the city of Tempe and regarded as one of the largest public universities in the United States. Arizona State University had approximately 82,090 students enrolled in 2014. Moreover, Arizona State University is regarded as a research hub and is ranked as one of the best universities in the US based on its research output, innovation, and development.  During the economic downturn of 2008, Arizona State University made cuts in its budget, which resulted in ending multiple academic programs, faculty, and staff. However, over the years Arizona State University has managed to expand its campuses, and it now spreads across the United States. The latest addition to the Arizona State University is the Arizona Center for Law and Society, which opened in fall 2016.

Economy

The unemployment rate in Tempe is 5 percent, and the city has a healthy housing market, continually expanding over recent years. The entrepreneurs, business owners and developers of Tempe are engaged in the economy, seeking expansion and growth. Previously, the economy of Tempe was driven mainly by agriculture, but over the years, the industries have become more diverse.

Culture and Arts

Media plays a significant role in defining the culture that exists within Tempe. The Public Art Program in Tempe coordinates with artists and building designers to construct temporary, yet unique art projects. Performing arts is another central element that is quite common in Tempe. Throughout the 1990s, Tempe was known mainly for its thriving music industry, which included the acts by Maine and The Refreshments.

Tourism is important to Tempe. Tempe has been transforming over the years, and various events like the famous P.F. Chang’s Rock and Roll Arizona Marathon have taken place in Tempe. The tourists that visit Tempe are often more interested in exploring the Mill Avenue and Tempe Town Lake. Downtown Tempe offers more than 175 restaurants, along with different kinds of retail shopping outlets that are designed to cater to the needs of the tourists. The city has a lot of bars that cater to the growing Arizona State University crowd.

Sports

Sports do not play a significant role in the culture; the city has no major professional sports team to represent their city in various competitions that are held in the United States. However, locals have taken the initiative to introduce games. The Sun Devil Stadium from 1988 to 2006 hosted the Arizona Cardinals of the National Football League. Besides, Arizona State University and the Sun Devil team compete in different games like basketball, football, baseball, etc.

The most interesting part about the city is that it is home to Arizona Combat Sports that includes a martial arts training organization. Over the years the people who play Rugby has increased in Tempe so it could be said that Rugby is a developing sport in the city and it will become a part of the most played sport within the area.
