How did Golden Valley Get its name?
According to Golden Valley: A History of a Minnesota City, 1886-1986, the city was named by William Varner, one of first settlers of Golden Valley.
Upon arriving at St Anthony Falls in 1854, Varner headed west to find a home site and eventually came upon "a hill so high that he thought it was
a mountain. He climbed the hill and looking down he could see the whole valley lush and green dotted with golden daffodils. In the distance he could
see a lake shining in the sunlight and he said, 'This is my valley, my Golden Valley.' " That hill, now much eroded by nature and humans, is currently
home to the Golden Valley Country Club.
