The City of Temple City operates from City Hall at 9701 Las Tunas Drive, Temple City, CA 91780. The City’s published telephone number is (626) 285-2171.","The City’s About Temple City page states the city was founded May 23, 1923, incorporated May 25, 1960, and is a charter city with a Council-Manager form of government. The Los Angeles Almanac also records incorporation on May 25, 1960 and names Walter P. Temple. Civic counts on this record describe the city as a whole. They are not the value of a particular house.","The About Temple City page states the City Council adopts legislation, sets policy, and establishes the City Budget, and that the Council appoints a City Manager to oversee daily operations. It states the Council is comprised of five members elected at large, that terms are staggered at four years, that non-partisan elections are held every two years, and that the positions of Mayor and Mayor Pro Tem rotate annually in March.","The same page describes Temple City as predominantly residential, with two major commercial arterials — Las Tunas Drive and Rosemead Boulevard — and a downtown district. Surrounding places named by the City include Arcadia, San Gabriel, Rosemead, and Los Angeles County unincorporated areas."],"history":["The Los Angeles Almanac states the name was given in 1923 for Walter P. Temple, town founder and president of the Temple Townsite Company.
