History in a Pecan Shell

The community was named after Bloomington, Illinois. The St. Louis, Brownsville and Mexico Railroad built a depot here in 1906 and a post office was opened the following year. By 1925 the population was a healthy 600 people. By 1960 it reached 1,756 before dropping in the 1970s. By 1980 it was back up to 1,840 citizens and today it stands at a record of 2,562.
