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.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
