ABOUT OUR TOWN
A Peaceful, Friendly Place to Call Home
The Town of Green Valley was and remains a largely agricultural community, with three primary population centers: the communities of Green Valley, Pulcifer and Advance, all of which possess unique and interrelated histories.
The land between these communities is mostly agricultural, with spots of 3 or 4 houses here and there. Some of the Homestead farms in the Town can boast a proud history of their ancestors.
Along with these rural areas, the Township of Green Valley remains a peaceful, friendly, great place to live and raise our families.
