Even though this temple honored both Castor and his twin brother Pollux, who were collectively called the Dioscuri, Romans called it the Temple of Castor or of the Castores (you think to youself that Castor always did get more attention!).
The temple was originally dedicated, according to Livy, in 484 BCE next to the Pool of Juturna (lacus Juturnae), the goddess of springs whom you remember from her prominent role in the last part of Vergil's Aeneid.
The founding of this temple is generally thought to have been the introduction of the cult of these two brothers into Rome.
