History of Venus

Venus was named by J.C. Smyth in the late 1880s after the daughter of a local doctor.  The area that is now Venus was formerly known as Gossip. In 1888 a post office opened, and by 1890 Venus had ten residents.  Soon Venus was a thriving community with several churches, a grade school, Burnetta College, numerous businesses, three banks and a newspaper - The Venus Express.  Venus was incorporated in 1903.   In the 2000 census, Venus had a population of 910.
