A City with a Vision
Temple has it all - hometown friendliness with big-city opportunities, including substantial industries, world-famous medical centers, top-ranked educational institutions, exciting arts and cultural activities. All this plus a beautiful quilt of wildflowers in the spring covering the gently rolling Blackland Prairie and mild Texas winters.
Begun in 1881 as a model city built from railroad blueprints, Temple remains a city with a vision. A thriving, prosperous community, Temple continues to draw families and progressive commercial enterprises with its economic freshness and strong undercurrent of values, ethics and spirit. The Greater Temple Area boasts a population of over 111,000 but still maintains a "hometown" feeling.
Hometown pride infuses Temple's commitment to its natural beauty, its Texas-sized support of local sports, its emphasis on industrial growth, and its nurture of the body through its world-class medical center and of the mind through a strong educational base.
With a diverse mixture of talents andinterests, Temple truly mixes the cosmopolitan outlook onthe good "life" with rich, down-to-earth country "style" to create a lifestyle which promotes personal, professional and spiritual growth.
