Walter P. Temple (June 7, 1870 - ), the son of Pliny Fisk Temple and William Workman's daughter Antonia Margarita Workman, was born on Rancho La Merced. Temple purchased 400 acres (2 km) of land four miles (6 km) east of San Gabriel which had been part of Lucky Baldwin's Rancho Santa Anita. Envisioning a community where people of medium income could afford to live and own their homes, Temple divided the area into lots and laid out the park facing Las Tunas Drive. He named other streets after those close and dear to the family, such as Workman, Kauffman, Temple and Agnes. Bond issues initiated by Temple were responsible for street paving and electrification. Temple also petitioned the Pacific Electric Railway Company to extend its Los Angeles to Alhambra line to a depot adjacent to Temple City Park. Residents and merchants attributed the steady growth of Temple City to the extensions of the railway to the community.

In 1936, the town officially was designated Temple City (it was originally called "Town of Temple", but the Postmaster General demanded a name change because the mail was instead being directed to the Phoenix suburb of Tempe), but remained a City in name only until after the post-World War II population explosion and incorporation of the community on May 23, 1960.
