It is located along the Double Mountain Fork Brazos River, 15 miles (24 km) southeast of the county seat, Post.

Justiceburg is located around the site of a town originally known as LeForrest (variously spelled Le Forest[2]) and had a post office of that name from 1902 until 1905.

[3] In 1910, a rancher named Jefferson Davis Justice then bought the land, and granted the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad right of way.

[3] Justiceburg has remained a small village throughout its history, with the population fluctuating between 25 and 76;[2] in the 1980s, many of these residents were reportedly descendants of Jefferson Davis Justice.

While this never materialized, some still maintain this vision that someday Justiceburg will become the next boomtown, including local folk-hero meteorologist John Robison from Lubbock TV station KCBD.
