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), BASF (pharmaceuticals), and OXEA (chemicals).
