Tyler

Tyler is a city and county seat of Smith County in East Texas. Streets run across gentle hills with parks, residential areas, and commercial zones spreading through the city limits.

The city was founded in 1846 as a county seat and grew through trade and agriculture during the 19th century. Later, rose cultivation made it known beyond Texas.

The nickname Rose Capital of America comes from the large rose fields that still grow in and around the city today. Visitors can see how rose cultivation shapes the cityscape in public gardens and on farms.

Several main roads connect the city to other places in East Texas, and there are shopping options, schools, and hospitals. City traffic focuses on main axes running through residential and commercial districts.

The location on gentle hills with a mild climate allows roses to bloom nearly year-round. The municipal rose garden grows over 600 varieties that thrive this well in only a few other regions.
