Stella, Fayette County, Texas

Stella is a ghost town in western Fayette County, Texas. The community was located eight miles southwest of West Point.

Settled during the 1870s, a post office number the name "Stellar" opened in the 1880. A store and a voting precinct had been established by 1900 for the scattered populace.[1]

The store closed, leading to the end of the post office in 1909. Depletion of the rocky and sandy soils followed, and farmland became unimproved pasture covered with post oak.[1]

During the 1980s oil drilling activity occurred and people used the area as a source for rock and gravel.[citation needed]
