History

Volga was founded by the Western Town Lot Company on December 27, 1879, by Col. Arthur Jacoby. It was originally named “Bandy Town” after the Bandy family, early settlers there. Later, in 1880, the railroad assigned it the name “Volga”, after the Volga River, in Russia.

Volga is mentioned in the juvenile novel The Long Winter by Laura Ingalls Wilder in the chapter titled “Pa Goes to Volga”.
