Well he's a regular visitor there - but Tempe certainly has had its share of visitors. US military service members and Hispanic workers were hired to grow food and animal feed to supply Fort McDowell as early as 1865.
In fact, didn't Darrell Duppa created the Tempe name?
Yes he did, after comparing the Salt River valley to the Vale of Tempe near Mount Olympus in Greece.
