Lissie_0121-HDR.JPG

Lissie is on the Southern Pacific Railroad and State Highway 90A in North Wharton County. Major settlement began in 1878. The area had once been open range for cattle. After hard times, the community's post office closed in 1891. The introduction of rice culture to the Lissie prairie changed the area's future. 1989 statistics show Wharton County as the top rice-producing county in Texas.
