At Clark County's inception in 1853 the entire county was composed
of one township and the name chosen was Pine Valley. The county was larger than today, including a portion
of what is now southern Taylor County. Both valleys and pines were abundant. Pines were harvested but
the valleys and the name remain. James O'Neill's lumbering activities were the hub of Pine Valley in its
early years. The beginning of township division in the county occurred in 1856 when Pine Valley was divided
into three townships; Pine Valley, Levis, and Weston. Other divisions followed as population increased until the 1920's when the last township was created leaving Clark County as we know it today. |
