Bishop

 
 
The town of Bishop, a rural center rich in cotton and grain, was first settled in 1910 but has since become a center for the petroleum, plastics, chemical and pharmaceutical industries. The Bishop Plant, located on Business Highway 77, houses Celanese (chemicals), Ticona (plastics), and BASF (pharmaceuticals).
 
City Park offers baseball and softball fields, a covered pavilion, picnic and playground areas, fitness trail, and birding (site #85 on the Central Texas Coast Birding Trail)... all newly improved thanks to a state grant. Revitalizing historic Main Street is now in the works.
