History

Valier was founded in the early 1900s and named for William Valier, who owned the land upon which the community was established. While a stop along the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad, the community didn’t experience notable expansion until the opening of a coal mine nearby in 1917. The mine operated off and on until closing for good in 1960.
