The Looneyville in West Virginia is allegedly named for Robert
Looney, its founder.
The former town of Looneyville in Texas developed in the 1860s
and it was named after the local storekeeper John Looney. It had a
maximum population of around 100 and many worked in nearby
sawmills. The post office closed in 1905 and the local school in
the 1960s, rendering the town virtually non-existent. Sometime in
the late 1990s, the remnants of the store were destroyed by
fire.
