First Baptist Church in Bridge City was honored Sunday with an official Texas historical marker.
The church, once known as Blandale Baptist Church was organized in 1940.
Though worshipers had met for services in the area since 1877, the community, then known as Prairie View, did not have an organized church.?
Prairie View changed names to Bridge City following completion of the Rainbow and Cow Bayou Swing Bridges.
It took it's current name in 1948 and in 1953, a new sanctuary was built at it's current location.
A dedication ceremony Sunday evening commemorated the event which is located at 200 West Roundbunch Rd.
Three of the original members of the church were on hand to celebrate.
