Country" . . . Visit Bellville, just 13 miles

addition to being home to many agricultural interests. The
coming of the Santa Fe Railroad spurred Bellville's growth
in 1880, moving it from sleepy agricultural community to
transportation hub.

family-oriented flavor of the area. Many Bellvillians
commute to Houston for employment, 60 miles to the east.
