Temple is a small city in northeastern Carroll County, with a small portion extending into Haralson County, located just off Interstate 20 at Exit 19. The town was founded in 1882 along the Georgia Pacific Railroad and was named for Major Robert H. Temple, the railroad's chief engineer.

Housing in and around Temple includes older homes in town, established subdivisions, newer construction, and rural properties with acreage and room for gardens or animals. Shopping and dining are close by in Villa Rica, Carrollton, and Bremen. Public schools are part of the Carroll County School System.
