BECAUSE THEY DIDN’T HEAR YOU WHEN YOU SPOKE UP WAY BACK WHEN THE PLANT WAS BUILT AND TOWN BUILT UP AROUND IT!??

Try decaf.

“On June 11, 1892, West was officially organized into a town. It had become the center of commerce for the area. There were cotton gins, grocery stores, churches, schools, and doctors’ offices.”

“The turn of the century brought electricity, running water, and natural gas. The population of West and surrounding area grew.”

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/West,_Texas#History

No mention of a fertilizer plant being the reason West came into existence. The main reason for the towns existence and growth was the railroad. No mention whatsoever of a fertilizer plant being there first and people built the town around it.
