Laveen, Arizona, is a historic community located approximately eight miles southwest of downtown Phoenix, nestled between South Mountain and the confluence of the Gila and Salt rivers. Originally settled by farmers and dairymen in 1884, Laveen has grown from its agricultural roots into a vibrant part of the Phoenix metropolitan area, though it retains a strong sense of community and rural charm. Part of Laveen remains an unincorporated area in Maricopa County, while the rest is officially within Phoenix, known as Laveen Village. This area has seen significant development over the years, with new housing, parks, and commercial spaces, yet it still honors its history through landmarks like the Del Monte Market, established in 1908, which is Arizona's oldest continuously operating market. The community is culturally diverse, with a mix of ethnicities, and it hosts events like the annual Laveen Barbecue, which celebrates its farming heritage with activities like cow milking contests and country music.
