Nestled in the foothills of the Allegany's is the small town of Little Valley, New York. Incorporated on April 10, 1818 the town remains surprisingly much like it was at that time. It is a picturesque, peaceful areas to raise a family.

The Cattaraugus County Agricultural Society was organized in 1844 and the Little Valley site was visited by Horace Greely, a candidate for President. He spoke at the opening session of the Fair held in 1872 at its permanent location.

Soon school districts were formed, sawmills established, and a brick factory was located by what today is called the Brick Point. There was a cheese factory, the Kellog Washing Machine Company, and a Mangle Roller Company.

The Town was soon becoming the "thriving metropolis" of that day. Several churches were established, a bank, two black-smith shops, feedmill, newspaper office, courthouse, jail, ten stores and three hotels. The Opera House located on Park Place was a three-story brick structure built in 1880 and added much to the life of the community. It was there that highschool dances, commencements, exercises, wrestling matches, basketball games and other activities were held.

Little Valley was a bustling town but still maintained its quietness and simplicity. It's a great place to live and raise a family.
