}}Valena is a ghost town in Attala County, Mississippi, United States.[1]

The settlement was located approximately {{convert|2|mi|km|abbr=on}} southeast of Goodman.

History

Attala County was established in 1833, and Valena was one of its earliest settlements.[2][3]

Valena was located on the east bank of the Big Black River, on the western part of a plantation owned by S.H. Clark.[4]

The settlement prospered as a small trading center, and was a regular stopping point for flatboats on the river.[4] The first sawmill in the county was located there, as well as a blacksmith shop, a saloon, two or three stores, and a post office from 1837 to 1840.[3][5][6]

Valena was abandoned before 1900.[2]
