History

During construction of the New York, Lake Erie and Western Railroad, residents of what would later become Spring Valley demanded a station at the site of a farm road crossing. The residents felt that Eleazar Lord had chosen to give preference to the area at Monsey (formerly Kakiat) because he owned Script error: No such module "convert". in the area. They wanted access to shipping via the railroad, but the railroad would not promise service, even if the farmers built their own waiting shanty.Script error: No such module "Footnotes".Script error: No such module "Check for unknown parameters".

The farmers did indeed construct their own station, a Script error: No such module "convert". platform with a wooden shanty. The station, which was named Pascac by the railroad, soon became a store run by a local named Henry Iseman. Once passenger service started, Iseman was evicted from the shanty, having to run his shop elsewhere in the area. The name "Spring Valley" was created by Isaac Springstead, a local farmer, who suggested the new name. With the new name change, a station sign was nailed to a nearby tree with the name "Spring Valley".Script error: No such module "Footnotes".Script error: No such module "Check for unknown parameters".
