History
In the year 1908, a settler originally from the city of Hebron named George Bratzel decided that he wanted to create a new town. He decided to purchase a 160 acres terrain, which was located 40 miles north of Hebron. The territory at the time was called the "Lee Haven farm". On May 19, 1909 he finished the construction of the very first building in the area, his shop, and immediately decided to throw a dance party to advertise both the area and his shop. Soon after, on June 1, 1909, the man applied for the Post Office, hoping for recognition. His request was soon approved. The area was initially known as "Olanta", up until 1913, when it was renamed by George himself Golden Valley. The city progressively got bigger as time passed.
