Gert: Thanks for the help! I think that "district seat" will work; elsewhere they talk about the parish and the bishopric (or diocese) -- referring to other localities -- so I don't believe that this equates to "parish" (it was a parish, but there were other parishes, too, and the diocese headquarters was in Guanajuato (the city). THX!

Explanation:
Your excerpt doesn't give a lot of context, so it's hard to know what wording would flow well. The above is just another suggestion.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Gert: I believe you've got the "right" answer. I found the term used in a translation of an 1830s document from a neighboring state, and that translator used "district seat" and then I saw in the DRAE that partido is a "Distrito o territorio de una jurisdicción o administración que tiene por cabeza un pueblo principal." Thanks for your help (I'll grade tomorrow just to be a "good citizen")...

headed the diocese


Explanation:
obispado could be translated as diocese. I think that a bishop heads the diocese. Hope this helps!
