Temple was founded in 1881 as a railroad town. It was named in honor of Bernard Moore Temple, civil engineer and former surveyor with the Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe Railway Company that established the town. For many years it was the home of the Santa Fe Railway Company's hospital for its employees. Temple is known for its strength as a regional medical center (primarily due to the highly respected Scott & White Memorial Hospital). Temple has more physicians per capita than any other community in the nation. It is the site of one of two major campuses for the Texas A&M Health Science Center College of Medicine. Medical students spend their third and fourth years of medical school in Temple for clinical training.

Besides health services, Temple is home to many regional distribution centers and headquarters to two multi-national companies, Wilsonart International and McLane Company. The Temple Daily Telegram is the daily newspaper and leading source of information for Central Texans since 1907.
