from THE HISTORY OF CHESTER COUNTY PENNSYLVANIA, by Futhey and Cope (1881);
 
Valley Twp was formed in 1852, by decree of court, from parts of the twps of 
West Caln, West Brandywine, East Caln, and Sadsbury, the larger part of its 
territory being taken from the last 2 twps with the village of Coatesville in 
about the enter of it.  It was reduced in size first by the incorporation of the 
borough of Coatesville in 1867, and next by the erection of the new township of 
Caln in 1868, which later included all of Valley twp east of Coatesville.  The 
twp is now only about 1/2 of its original size.
