From its citrus groves to grand old oaks, Temple Terrace has transformed itself from a primarily agricultural community to a vibrant city with endless possibilities. Situated between Interstates 75 and 275, this charming city makes a popular home for many people who commute to Tampa. Minutes from home  are the popular theme parks Busch Gardens and Adventure Island, and the campus of the University of South Florida.  Many of the faculty and students of USF choose to call Temple Terrace home.

Named after the Temple oranges grown in the expansive citrus groves surrounding the city, Temple Terrace experienced heavy development prior to the Great Depression. This development included a golf course, residential properties and approximately 80 homes built in the Mediterranean Revival style during the 1920s, which have been restored and feature red tile roofs imported from Cuba and Spain. Despite a lull in the population the 1930s, the city began to flourish following World War II.

Today, Temple Terrace presents a spectacular picture of a diverse community with history, art, culture, recreation and job options. More than 23,000 residents enjoy the friendly ambiance and vast opportunities. Plans are underway to complete development of the downtown area as well as distinct neighborhoods. With so many changes taking place within the city, the stately oak trees are a pleasant reminder to residents of days gone by. Temple Terrace has several golf courses, parks, green spaces and other recreational facilities for residents to enjoy days out in the Florida sun.
