Tyler: The Rose Capital of the United States
Tyler is the seat of Smith County and the principal city of East Texas, with approximately 107,000 residents. Founded in 1846 and named for President John Tyler, the city grew on cotton commerce in the 19th century. The discovery of the East Texas Oil Field at Kilgore in 1930, the largest U.S. oil field east of California at the time, shifted the regional economy sharply toward petroleum for the subsequent decades.
Tyler has been known as the Rose Capital since the early 20th century, when many cotton farmers shifted to commercial rose production following the boll weevil infestations of the 1890s. Today roughly 20 percent of U.S. commercial rose bushes are produced in the Tyler area, and the Tyler Municipal Rose Garden holds over 38,000 rose bushes across 14 acres, making it one of the largest public rose gardens in the country. The Texas Rose Festival, held each October since 1933, marks the peak of the local rose season.
The University of Texas at Tyler enrolls around 10,000 students across its main campus and health science center. Tyler Junior College, founded in 1926, enrolls about 12,000 students. The UT Health Science Center at Tyler serves as a regional medical research and teaching center, and the Earl Campbell Tyler Rose Museum at Tyler Junior College honors the 1977 Heisman Trophy winner who grew up in the city.
