Welcome to Ruby City ...
So far, we found very little information about Ruby City. The little that we've found leads us believe that the community is historic.<1>
We've added Ruby City to our Gazetteer with the hope that we can develop more information. We would especially like to find the location of Ruby City - knowing its coordinates, we can explore things like its relationship to neighboring communities, nearby cemeteries, etc. If you can help us with Ruby City, please Contact Us.
While we don't have a date for the founding of Ruby City, you might consider that their post office opened in 1864.

Adding Ruby City to Our Gazetteer ...
As we work on our Gazetteer, we occasionally find mention of a community that is new to us. When we find such a community, we add it to our Gazetteer with the hope of adding more information in the future.
The earliest source we've referenced which mentioned Ruby City was in the document titled List of Post Offices from Cameron Blevins and Richard Helbock.<3>
X2X - From that list, the Ruby City post office opened in 1864.

Footnotes ...
| <1> | We use the term 'Historic' broadly and it generally means that the community no longer exists. However, it can also mean that the community might still exist, but was significantly larger or had a more 'official' existence in the past than it does now. Unfortunately our sources of data have proven to be unreliable. If you can provide us with more specific information about Ruby City, please let us know so that we can improve our accuracy. |
| <2> | When there's a risk of an area code running out of phone numbers, an 'Overlay Area Code' is created that has the same geographic boundaries as the existing area code. In this case, the 208 code has been Overlayed with the 986 area code. New phone numbers in the Ruby City area will be assigned with one of these codes: 208 or 986. As a result, placing a call in the Ruby City area will require 10-digit dialing (where you enter both the area code and then the phone number). |
