History on
a Pinhead
Although there
are Valley Views in Cooke,
Comal, Dewitt,
Martin, Midland,
Mitchell, Runnels
and Witchita Counties,
this one is not listed in the Handbook of Texas. It’s almost
certain that the community’s proximity to the county seat curtailed
growth. |
A Visit to
Valley View
Photographer’s
Note:
Fenced off Valley View has no markers or notations of any kind. The
only structures are the church, school and maybe the collapsed gym.
