Tempe was founded in 2012 with a simple yet powerful vision: to bring the vibrant city of Tempe, Arizona, to life through an engaging digital platform. We recognized a gap in the local news landscape and set out to create a website that would become the go-to source for everything happening in this dynamic community.
Since our inception, we've grown from a small team of passionate journalists to a thriving online community. Tempe has evolved into a space where residents can connect, share stories, and stay informed about their city's unique culture, events, and the people who call it home.
