    The Town of Guadalupe is named for the Virgin of Guadalupe, the patron saint of Mexico.
    Guadalupe was founded by Yaqui Indians around the turn of
    the century. The Yaquis had fled their traditional homeland along
    the Yaqui River in Sonora to avoid persecution and enslavement by
    the Mexican government under Porforio Diaz. Many Yaquis entered
    Arizona and several villages were established. Over the years many
    Mexican families also located in Guadalupe.

    The Town of Guadalupe was incorporated in 1975 and is
    approximately one square mile in area. It will remain this size since it
    is “surrounded” by man-made boundaries: Interstate 10 and the
    City of Phoenix on the west; Baseline Road and the City of Tempe
    on the north; the City of Tempe on the south; and by the Salt River
    Project's Highline Canal on the east.

    Guadalupe is primarily a residential community with retail and
    service businesses catering to both locals and visitors. The community
    has two commercial districts. Along Baseline Road and I-10 are
    several restaurants and hotels, which generate significant revenue.
    Along Guadalupe's “main street,” Avenida Del Yaqui is another
    commercial area, which caters primarily to local and pedestrian traffic.
    It is here that in 1983, El Tianguis, a bright blue Mexican-style
    shopping square opened with restaurants and shops offering products
    from south of the border. A mix of manufacturing and service work
    accounts for about 50 percent of local employment. Agricultural work
    ranks third in importance, employing about 15 percent of the population.
    Most residents of Guadalupe commute to jobs in Phoenix or Tempe.

    Guadalupe has a large open area in the center of town. This
    traditional plaza is bordered by Our Lady of Guadalupe Catholic Church
    and the Yaqui Temple (El Templo). Both buildings have historic significance.
    Each Easter season Yaqui ceremonial rites are held in the plaza.
    The rites blend traditional Indian beliefs with Christian teachings.
    These rituals are an ancient and sacred obligation of the participants
    and date back some 300 years. Although not performed for tourists,
    respectful visitors are welcome to observe. It is illegal to take photographs.
    Nearby attractions, include South Mountain Park and Papago
    Park with its zoo and botanical gardens. Arizona State University
    offers a variety of activities including sports (the NFL Cardinals play
    there), music, theater, and museums. South of Guadalupe is Firebird
    Lake with powerboat races.

    The Phoenix metro area has professional football, hockey, basketball, and baseball; classical music, ballet, and opera; museums;
    and all forms of popular entertainment.
