Marker Text: Founded 1907 by a realty firm. Named by townsite surveyor, 
for his native county in Virginia. When Roscoe, Snyder & Pacific Railroad reached
 this point in Sept. 1909, a 3-day picnic was held. Buildings at Light, Texas, a mile east,
 were moved here. Town developed into important cattle shipping point, as long market drives
 were abandoned. By 1912 had 2 wagon yards and 2 blacksmith shops, among many businesses. 
Later, shipped much cotton before railroad ceased operating here in 1942.
 Now a prosperous agricultural community on good highways. (1966)
