Why We Love Tyler
There aren’t many places that can say they’re the Rose Capital of America. But in Tyler, it’s a fact. Back in the 1940s, more than half of the rose bushels in America were grown here in this corner of East Texas. Although still famous for its roses and other flowers, there’s far more to love about Tyler than its blooming buds. Nestled among magnificent pine trees just 100 miles east of Dallas, Rose City feels like it’s a world away from the rest of the Lone Star State. Yet you’ll still find all the things that make Texas wonderful here, from world-class barbecue and amazing architecture to Friday night football and events like the old-fashioned East Texas State Fair.
With its small-town charm and natural beauty, Tyler is a true one-of-a-kind.
