Residents of the Valentine neighborhood celebrate the rich history of our area, both the people who settled here in the 1800’s and the sturdy homes and buildings that are, in many cases, still standing. At the same time, we understand that our history and stories and even buildings are at risk of being lost. We’re starting this history page to celebrate our past and keep it alive as new residents move in to Valentine.
The Valentine Neighborhood Association provided stories in each printed newsletter about important architecture and other history. These stories were archived on our website so they’ll be available in the future. We invite residents who have stories about the neighborhood – personal remembrance’s or old newspaper clippings or research you’ve done on your house – to share them. Send your stories to us.
