Kham Phouk (Secretary of the Temple) and Pouchouang Xaysongkham (President of the Temple) immigrated to the United States from Laos in the early 1980s. Very soon after arriving in Akron, the two men began a fund raising campaign for the establishment of a Temple. In 1993, enough money was collected and there existed a large enough Laotian community in Akron that several families were able to establish a Temple in a small rented house a few blocks away from the present location.
