About Find it in Laveen
Let us show you the beauty of living in Laveen Village
Our community began in 1848 when farmers and dairies first came to settle in the beautiful area at the foot of South Mountain Park and Preserve. The nearby Salt River created a boundary to the north, while the Gila River Indian Community sits to the south.
The rich agricultural heritage is preserved in the growing suburban Phoenix village with linking trails throughout neighborhoods and along the canals that bring water to agricultural areas that remain, as well as properties that have legacy water rights. Walter Laveen opened the area’s first general store. In 1913, Walter donated land near Dobbins Road and 51st Avenue for building the Laveen Elementary School. The historical building is now used for community gatherings and events.
In the early 1950s, the Laveen Cowbelles organized the community’s first Laveen Pit BBQ, an all-volunteer gathering that continues each February. In 2025, the BBQ celebrated its 73rd year with nearly 6,000 visitors. In 1960, the nonprofit Laveen Community Council was formed to take over managing the barbeuce.
Today our Laveen community is rapidly expanding with the opening in 2020 of the South Mountain Freeway (Loop 202). While more and more people come to live here, our sense of community and our joy from living near the mountain remai for all who call Laveen home.
