Abstract:

When night-wandering dogs threatened the lives of David P. Dellinger's chickens, he appealed to the General Assembly to make Dellview a town in 1925 so that the residents could legally shoot the trespassing dogs. Eighty-five-year-old Mrs. J. Henry Dellinger was named mayor of 52-acre Dellview at its founding, and has been the only mayor the town has ever had. The current eight residents, all family of the mayor, have no intention of expanding their little town, either in size or population.
