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. – Barclay Gibson, July 2009
