A little District history:

After years of fund-raising by the Swimming Pool Association in Cascade, the Southern Valley County Recreation District was formed for the purpose of collecting a fee each year from property taxes in order to raise enough money to build a year-round swimming pool and recreation center.  Since 1999,  other recreation programs have been established with varying degrees of success.  The District is currently working on acquiring land with geothermal water to bring the original dream into reality.  We ask for your patience as we are ever mindful of expenditures as we move closer to fulfillment. 
 

More Information:

Established February 26, 1917, Valley County was named for the outstanding topographical feature of the area, Long Valley. Fur trappers were the first white men in the area but permanent settlement did not take place until the 1880s when livestock ranchers moved into Long Valley.
