A Brief History of Virginia City, Texas
Virginia City was located two miles
southeast of the present intersection of Farm roads 298
and 1731 in southwest Bailey County, twenty-five miles
southwest of Muleshoe. It was platted on March 13, 1909,
by Matthew C. Vaughn and Samuel D. McCloud. The original
townsite called for a lot reserved for a courthouse and
others for schools, churches, and a park. The same year it
was platted, an Iowa land company bought the site and
advertised for prospective buyers. A hotel was built to
house visitors, and several stores were established. A
roadbed for a railroad was graded through the town,
although it was disputed whether the construction was
genuine or merely a speculation trick. The venture failed,
and the town was abandoned by 1913.
