Site of Valley
View School
When Morris
County was divided into school districts in 1893, this part of
the county was included in the Valley View District. B. and R. E.
Fomby donated 3.5 acres of land at this site for a schoolhouse, and
a one-room school building was moved to the property from nearby Snow
Hill. A second room was added in the early 1900s and later was replaced
with another building. Students attended classes through the eighth
grade at Valley View and went to Daingerfield
High School to complete their education. Valley View closed in 1935
and the district was annexed to the Daingerfield
Independent School District in 1952, but its history is a reminder
of rural education in Texas.
