This vibrant community of over 100,000 residents seamlessly blends small-town charm with metropolitan amenities, creating an ideal environment for families, retirees, and outdoor enthusiasts seeking the authentic Texas lifestyle.

Smith County was established in July 1846, named for General James Smith, a hero of the Texas Revolution, with Tyler designated as the county seat. The area's agricultural heritage evolved from early cotton and corn farming to peach orchards in the early 1900s, and finally to the rose industry that earned Tyler its famous moniker in the 1920s.

Tyler is home to the largest rose garden in the United States, a 14-acre public garden complex that has over 38,000 rose bushes of at least 500 different varieties. The annual Texas Rose Festival, held each October since 1933, attracts thousands of visitors and celebrates the community's horticultural excellence that has shaped its identity for nearly a century.

The area's Civil War history includes Camp Ford, which was the largest Confederate prisoner-of-war camp west of the Mississippi River. Today, this historic site serves as a public park, offering visitors a glimpse into East Texas's significant role in American history.
