RV rental Bailey, TX: Motorhome rentals, camper van rentals and more

The area’s history is largely lost to the passage of time. This much is known, there were almost certainly settlers and pioneers living in the area long enough for a settlement to form. In 1850, two landowners and prominent community leaders competed to have the settlement named after themselves. Doctors Josiah S. Bailey and A.J. Ray owned a chunk of land that was parceled out and sold to the newcomers. The dispute over the town’s name continued for over 30 years and was finally settled in 1855. A railroad company decided to lay down tracks passing by the town, and Dr. Bailey donated land for that endeavor. The rail company consequently elected to choose his surname for the town’s name.
