Valentine, Texas
Jeff Davis County
|
|
Valentine, the smaller of Jeff Davis County's two towns, is on U.S. Highway 90 and the Southern Pacific Railroad
in the southwestern part of the county, thirty-six miles west of Fort Davis. It was founded and named when the Southern
Pacific Railroad crew, building east, reached the site on February 14, 1882. Trains began running the next year,
and a post office was established in 1886. [The Handbook of Texas Online]
