Girvin, Texas

Girvin is an unincorporated community and ghost town in Pecos County, Texas, United States.

Girvin grew around a train stop on the Kansas City, Mexico and Orient Railway that served as a cattle shipping point.

In 1933, U.S. Route 67 bypassed Girvin, and eventually freight and passenger rail service to the town ended.

The old railroad depot building was moved to the highway and became the since abandoned "Girvin Social Club" bar.

There is an annual reunion of families from the area at the 1930s-era schoolhouse, which also serves as a meeting hall and voter precinct.
