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.
A group of citizens from the Town of Washington presented a petition to Shawano County to set off and organize a separate Town. The County Board established the Town of Green Valley.
During the devastating Peshtigo Fire, the many swamps, marshes, creeks and trees protected this area. The fire did not burn badly here, leaving the land green—inspiring the town’s name.
The first settlers arrived in what would become Green Valley. Early pioneers established homestead farms, many of which can still boast a proud history passed down through generations.
The Township of Green Valley remains a peaceful, friendly community
rooted in agricultural heritage and neighborly values.
