ONE OF TWO RECORDED EXAMPLES OF THE HAYDEN'S FERRY HANDSTAMP POSTMARK.
Hayden's Ferry was established by Charles Trumbull Hayden, who left Tucson where he lived since his arrival in 1857 on the first Butterfield Overland Mail coach. He moved to the site of the future Tempe where he established a flour mill and a ferry across the river. In 1882 Hayden's land was purchased by a group of Mormons who named the community Tempe in honor of the Vale of Tempe in Greece. The post office was established April 25, 1872 as Hayden's Ferry.
