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
