Where Three Cultures Flourish

Though Guadalupe was officially incorporated in 1975, the small town's rich history dates back to when it was founded by the Pascua Yaqui Indians in 1904. Guadalupe's motto of "Where Three Cultures Flourish" is a nod to the Indian, Mexican-American and farming roots of the community, and that sense of self-identity continues to be displayed through yearly cultural events and preservation of the town's history.
