History

It is regarded among sportsmen as a very popular fishing location in Texas with some the largest fish in the state. A notable feature of the community is the 'Rollover Pass' (or 'Rollover Fish Pass'), which divides Bolivar Peninsula as well as Gilchrist and carries water between East Bay and the Gulf of Mexico. Rollover Pass was a natural pass that had been closed until 1955, when it was opened by the Texas Game and Fish Commission as part of its efforts to preserve and improve fish and wildlife resources. . On April 23, 1991 the community, and other areas of Galveston County, received an enhanced 9-1-1 system which routes calls to proper dispatchers and allows dispatchers to automatically view the address of the caller.
