Currently known as the "Wildflower Capital of Texas," Temple was originally founded in 1881 as a railroad town. It was named in honor of Bernard Moore Temple, a railroad employee.
This thriving, prosperous community 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 more than 111,000 but still maintains a "hometown" feeling.
Temple is the site of one of two major campuses for the Texas A&M Health Science Center (HSC) College of Medicine, since it is known for its strength as a regional medical center. The HSC is in partnership with Scott & White, the area's largest employer and hospital. Temple is home to more physicians per capita than any other community in the nation. The HSC medical students can elect to spend all four years of their medical education training or their two years of clinical training on the Temple campus.
