The front of the plate has Tempe, Arizona Centennial 1871 to 1971 (one of Tempe's most famous landmarks), it pictures Grady Gammage Auditorium, Hayden's Flour Mill 1871, New's Printing Office 1886, Municipal Building 1971, Arizona Territorial Normal School 1886 (one of the few accredited Teachers "college" in those days), Charles T Haydens Casa Vieja 1871, Hayden's Ferry and Municipal Building.
The back says Tempe, Arizona, 1871 Centennial 1971, Prehistoric HoHo Kam Indians built settlements and canals in the shadow of Tempe Butte. Tempe Village, earlier called Hayden's Ferry, began when CT Hayden established a ferry (1871) and later built a store and water-powered flour mill. The first post office was established in 1872. For many years Tempe was sleepy, slow-growing agricultural town. About 1945 it began to awaken and is today a beautiful, busy city of 62,000 with Arizona State University enrolling over 26,000.
