San Jose California Temple
In his closing remarks at the 193rd Annual General Conference of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, President Russell M. Nelson announced plans to construct a temple in San Jose, California.
The San Jose California Temple will be the 11th temple built in the state. San Jose, the third-largest city in California, is located south of the San Francisco Bay area. It is part of Silicon Valley, a major technology hub. California, situated on the West Coast of the United States, has nearly 730,000 Latter-day Saints in around 1,130 congregations.[1]
The first Latter-day Saint immigrants arrived in San Francisco in 1846. Six Latter-day Saints were at Sutter's Mill in January 1848, when gold was discovered. The land boom of the 1920s also attracted many members to California.
Location
The San Jose California Temple will be built on a 4.73-acre site at 771 West Fremont Avenue, Sunnyvale, California. Plans call for a single-story temple of approximately 30,000 square feet and an accompanying distribution center.
