Templers is a small town on the Horrocks Highway. William Templer arrived in South Australia in 1839 in the Buckinghamshire and established a carpentry and sign writing business in Hindley Street. He then proceeded to the place which now bears his name, where he built the 'North Star Hotel' which was conducted by the Templer family for over forty years.
The Templers Primary School opened in 1873, but has since closed. The Mount Bethel Wesleyan Jubilee chapel was built in 1863 (completed 1864) by people who had been meeting regularly in homes and sheds for worship since the early 1850s.
