About Tempe: Your Digital Window to the Vibrant City of Tempe

Our Journey Begins: 2007

Tempe was founded in 2007 with a vision to bridge the information gap that existed for the vibrant city of Tempe, Arizona. We recognized the potential of digital media to bring local news and stories directly to residents and visitors alike. From its humble beginnings as a small online publication, we've grown into a trusted source of accurate and unbiased news, becoming an integral part of the community.
