History

The Fort Valley area has had an interesting history and the way it got its name is one of the better stories out there. It is believed that the area never had a fort and that the name Fort Valley was an error made when a post office was built there. Historians think that the actual name of the town was Fox Valley, but the name Fort Valley has stuck.
