- Officially named Tempe about 1879 at suggestion of Darrell Duppa because the area was similar to the Vale of Tempe in Greece. Charles Trumbull Hayden (1825-1900) established a ferry--'Haydens Ferry'--in 1871 at this place. Subsequently, the place was known as Butte City or Haydens Butte and by 1875 'Tempe' or 'Haydens Mill'. The name 'Tempe' came to apply to nearby San Pablo as well (AZ-T101).
