Temple City
 The town of Temple City was founded on May 30, 1923 when approximately 285 acres of land were purchased by land developer, Walter P. Temple. A one-year celebration for the Town of Temple took place in September 1924 with a rodeo and became officially designated as Temple City in 1928. The redundancy in the name City of Temple City came when Temple City incorporated on May 25, 1960.
This part of Southern California is part of the San Gabriel Valley, known for its Historic Mission San Gabriel, "Queen of the California Missions," founded by Father Junipero Serra in 1771. The impact of the mission and local ranchos are seen everywhere, particularly in derivation of many of the street names in Temple City. Temple City is located along the base of the San Gabriel Mountains, just west of Pasadena. The 10 and 210 freeways give residents easy access to the Los Angeles, San Bernardino and Riverside counties. Both the beaches and mountain resorts are just a short drive away. Recreational and cultural opportunities abound and the city features numerous local parks and playgrounds. |
