Facts for Renters
- Godley was founded in 1886 by R.B. Godley. Godley was a lumber merchant from Cleburne who donated eight acres to create a town and 20 acres to create a right-of-way to the Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe Railway. The railroad station was also built in 1886.
- Prior to building the railroad, the Johnson County Commissioner created the Godley Independent School District in 1884. In 1899, Godley College was built, later becoming Godley High School. A gymnasium and an auditorium were built by 1939 and helped expand the campus. The auditorium later turned into a library. The new main building was built in 1940, creating a sizable campus for a rural community. As a result, many other local towns moved their students into the Godley School District. The school held all grades until 1967 when the elementary school was built.
- In 1888, progress had helped the city grow. Godley had three cotton gins, a grist mill and two dairy-processing plants. It had two general stores by 1890. By 1920, the city had approximately 20 businesses operating.
