Temple, Texas

Located close to the county seat, Belton, Temple is in Bell County in Texas. The city is a part of the Central Texas region and one of the larger cities in the county. Its last recorded population was 72,277.

History

Temple saw its beginning as a railroad town. On June 29, 1881, the city was founded by the Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe Railroad Company. The town received its name from a Santa Fe Railroad official named Bernard Moore Temple. At the time, the railroad company wanted a town at a major junction in order to provide services for passengers and equipment.

In the early days, Temple had multiple nicknames. It was nicknamed “Mudville,” because of the thick blackland prairie soil, “Tanglefoot” because of its reputation as a wild frontier town and “Ratsville” due to the presence of four-legged creatures. The city was also called as the “City of Trees” in the latter part of the 19th century. The bouquet of names is a reflection of the growth that the city has witnessed since its inception.

Temple grew at an accelerating rate and was soon known as “The Prairie Queen” and “Progressive Temple.”

The railroad into the city attracted a diverse population, including lawyers, merchants, doctors and businessmen. Trains arriving in temple brought men, families, supplies and everything that is required to become a modern city.

By 1884, the city had close to 3,000 residents served by a school, three churches, two weekly newspapers, two banks and an opera house, among others.

The city underwent immense changes in 1904, when Temple Sanitarium was built by Dr. Raleigh White and Dr. Arthur Scott. Temple Sanitarium is today known as the Baylor Scott and White Health System, which is the largest and leading health care service provider in the State of Texas.

In the early days, water scarcity was a major problem in Temple as the city had no inexpensive natural source of water. Wells were dug and water was sold for fifty cents a barrel. Later, the Santa Fe Railway created Lake Polk for refilling steam engines passing through the city.

Since its inception, the city has grown tremendously because of its diverse economy, transportation, manufacturing and medicine.

However, in 1909, the city’s agri-business suffered a major setback as an airborne fungus destroyed most of the cotton crops of the city. This setback led to the development of Blackland Research Center in 1912. The research center opened new avenues for the city and the growth of the city was accelerated in the coming years.

It is one of the brightest stars in the state of Texas.

Economy

Baylor Scott and White Health System is the largest employer in the city and has over 12,000 employees. Over 100 years ago, the economy of the city started with the Santa Fe Railroad Hospital. And, today the city is the headquarters of two multi-national companies: McLane Company and Wilsonart International. The unemployment rate in the city is just 3.80 percent, lower than the U.S. average of 5.2 percent. The cost of living in Temple is also lower than the national average.

Education

The city is served primarily by the Temple Independent School district. The district has three middle schools, one high school, three supplementary programs and nine elementary schools. Apart from the district schools, the city offers world-class private schools, namely: Christ Church School and Central Texas Christian School. Temple College was the first college in the city of Temple.
