 From
humble beginnings 150 years ago on a
piece of high ground that is now the
town square, Tyler has grown to be the
largest community in East Texas. Boasting
an MSA population of over 190,000, Tyler
offers the cultural diversity, quality
education, health care, and recreational
opportunities of a large city with the
hometown friendliness and quality of
life of a small community.
Tyler offers many reasons to come visit
and many more to stay. The springtime
finds Tyler covered in the vivid colors
created by the azaleas, dogwoods, and
spring flowers. The arrival of the flowers
are celebrated by the annual Azalea
and Spring Flower Trails in March
and April.After the azaleas peak, then
the roses begin their annual visit to
bear proof that Tyler is "The Rose
Capital of America". The roses
say goodbye in October with an encore
performance during the Texas
Rose Festival, the third weekend
of October.
 Tyler
offers a wide variety of educational
opportunities. The Tyler Independent
School District (TISD) which serves
the community is rated 4A. In addition
to TISD, private and parochial school
