It is at the junction of Highway 43 and Highway 49, between the Little Smoky River and Sturgeon Lake. Its position, in the junction of the two highways into the Peace Region, has led to the town motto, "Portal to the Peace". HistoryThe area around Valleyview has been inhabited by native peoples for thousands of years due to the area's rich hunting and fishing grounds. The local Cree population has lived in the region since at least the 18th century. In the early 1800s the first visitors to the area arrived, seeking natives to exchange goods for furs. The trading was good and a Hudson's Bay Company post was established on Sturgeon Lake in 1877.[4] Peace River Jim’ Cornwall established the Bredin and Cornwall Trading Post nearby. The area was surveyed in 1900 for a possible settlement, but little developed of it. The following year the area was surveyed again by Fred Young who was particularly impressed with a piece of land on the northwest shore of Sturgeon Lake. By 1916 the first pioneers settled in the area nearby as its soil was rich for farming. The community that formed to serve the growing population was initially named Red Willow Creek. Only when the first post office was opened in 1929 did the community change its name to Valleyview.[5] In late 1950 oil was discovered near the hamlet. By the late fifties Valleyview had firmly achieved boomtown status having been incorporated as a village in 1954 and then a town only three years later in 1957.[6] GeographyThe town is located in the southern Peace Region between the Little Smoky River and Sturgeon Lake. As noted by its name, the town is elevated and overlooks the surrounding valleys. Sturgeon Lake is located approximately 15 km west of the town and is home to Young's Point Provincial Park, a popular provincial park in the area. Valleyview lies on the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin known for some of the largest coal and oil deposits in the world and the Duvernay Formation a rich source of natural gas and oil. The town is also located in an active geothermal area.[7] ClimateValleyview experiences a humid continental climate (Köppen climate classification Dfb). {{Weather box|width=auto;margin:auto| metric first = yes | single line = yes | location = Valleyview | Jan record high C = 16.0 | Feb record high C = 18.0 | Mar record high C = 21.0 | Apr record high C = 28.0 | May record high C = 32.0 | Jun record high C = 33.3 | Jul record high C = 34.8 | Aug record high C = 34.0 | Sep record high C = 32.0 | Oct record high C = 29.0 | Nov record high C = 18.0 | Dec record high C = 14.5 | year record high C = 34.8 | Jan high C = −6.3 | Feb high C = −2.6 | Mar high C = 2.9 | Apr high C = 10.6 | May high C = 16.7 | Jun high C = 20.6 | Jul high C = 22.6 | Aug high C = 21.6 | Sep high C = 16.3 | Oct high C = 9.4 | Nov high C = 0.2 | Dec high C = −4.7 | year high C = 8.9 | Jan mean C = −11.5 | Feb mean C = −8.3 | Mar mean C = −3.0 | Apr mean C = 4.5 | May mean C = 10.1 | Jun mean C = 14.2 | Jul mean C = 16.3 | Aug mean C = 15.2 | Sep mean C = 10.3 | Oct mean C = 4.3 | Nov mean C = −4.4 | Dec mean C = −9.5 | year mean C = 3.2 | Jan low C = −16.7 | Feb low C = −14.0 | Mar low C = −8.8 | Apr low C = −1.6 | May low C = 3.5 | Jun low C = 7.9 | Jul low C = 9.9 | Aug low C = 8.8 | Sep low C = 4.2 | Oct low C = −0.8 | Nov low C = −8.9 | Dec low C = −14.3 | year low C = −2.6 | Jan record low C = −43.0 | Feb record low C = −40.0 | Mar record low C = −42.0 | Apr record low C = −27.0 | May record low C = −15.0 | Jun record low C = −4.0 | Jul record low C = 0.0 | Aug record low C = −1.0 | Sep record low C = −11.1 | Oct record low C = −29.0 | Nov record low C = −32.2 | Dec record low C = −46.1 | year record low C = −46.1 | Jan precipitation mm = 33.8 | Feb precipitation mm = 18.3 | Mar precipitation mm = 19.2 | Apr precipitation mm = 24.4 | May precipitation mm = 48.8 | Jun precipitation mm = 79.4 | Jul precipitation mm = 92.4 | Aug precipitation mm = 62.9 | Sep precipitation mm = 48.2 | Oct precipitation mm = 24.7 | Nov precipitation mm = 28.2 | Dec precipitation mm = 27.0 | year precipitation mm = 504.8 | source 1 = Environment Canada[8] |date = January 2019 }} Demographics{{stack|}}In the 2016 Census of Population conducted by Statistics Canada, the Town of Valleyview recorded a population of 1,863 living in 747 of its 833 total private dwellings, a {{percentage|{{#expr:1863-1761}}|1761|1}} change from its 2011 population of 1,761.
