Announced in 2007, construction began on the temple in September 2008. On 20 September, ground was broken and the site was dedicated by Don R. Clarke, of the Seventy and president of the church's Central America Area.

The temple is in Antiguo Cuscatlán, an affluent district southwest of San Salvador. The San Salvador volcano provides a background for the temple grounds and the three-story building.

A public open house was scheduled for 1–23 July 2011.[3] The temple was dedicated on 21 August 2011, in three dedicatory sessions.[4]
