Templeton
Templeton is the epitome of small town charm. Originally founded
in 1886 as the last station on the southbound Southern Pacific Railroad, the town hosted horse drawn stage- coaches that met the trains and gave passengers a ride to San Luis Obispo to connect with the next stagecoach to their destinations. Even after the railroad extended the rails south to Santa Margarita in 1889, Templeton remained the shipping point for local crops and products bound eastward and to boats in shipping ports on the coast. Grain, wood, charcoal, fruit and cattle, driven from as far away as Kern County, arrived in Templeton for the next destination.
Many of the buildings from the late 1800s are still lining Main Street and housing unique shops, wineries, restaurants serving everything from hearty country breakfasts to dinner for every taste and the Templeton Histori- cal Museum Society.
