ANSWERS: 1

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, the railroad assigned it the name "Volga" not after the Volga River, as some believe, but after the Iowa town of the same name. The same is true for White, South DakotaWhite.
