You can find it along Ohio State Route 78, about 2 miles (3.2 km) east of Glouster. It's also close to the beautiful Burr Oak State Park.
History of Bishopville
Bishopville was started a long time ago, in 1859. A person named James M. Bishop was the one who planned out the community. He decided to name the place after himself. Soon after, in 1860, a post office was opened in Bishopville. This post office helped people send and receive mail for many years. It stayed open until 1929.
