Temple lies in Central Texas, a principal city of the Killeen-Temple-Fort Hood Metropolitan Statistical Area. Located off Interstate 35, Temple is 65 miles north of Austin and 34 miles south of Waco. Due to its central location between these two cities, as well as Dallas, Houston, and San Antonio, Temple is the transportation center of Texas. 84 percent of the state’s population is within three hours of the Temple city limits. With the conveniences of big-city dwelling and the atmosphere of a small town, Temple uniquely offers the best aspects of two worlds. The enchanting scenery, small-town charm, and wealth of things to see and do makes the city a compelling destination for tourists. The Temple Railroad and Heritage Museum and the Czech Heritage Museum and Genealogy Center allow visitors to experience two of the most important aspects of Temple’s history. When it comes to outdoor recreation, Temple sits a few miles east of the picturesque Lake Belton where visitors can swim, fish, or camp. Although there’s plenty to experience outdoors, Temple is also rich with culture, home to the Temple Symphony Orchestra and the Temple Civic Theatre. Over 100 years ago, the local economy began with the regional Santa Fe Railroad hospital. Temple now thrives in a complex economy, with goods distribution and medicine as the main drivers. Baylor Scott & White Health is the largest employer in the area with approximately 12,000 employees. Temple is also within a short drive of several regional and national universities: Baylor University, Texas A&M University - Central Texas, the University of Texas at Austin, and more.
