Greetings!
The Golden Valley Community Club will meet on Monday, March 21, at 7:00 PM at the clubhouse. Sheriff Dick Francis, two County Commissioners and a representative from EDC will be there to discuss county issues. There will be a Q&A. This is not a dinner meeting.
Golden Valley's Facebook page is still hovering at 300 "likers". We added some black and white pictures to the page (sent in by a reader) and people tell us they like it. If you'd like to share some of your old pictures, tell Karen McCall.

Whitesides Company
________________________________________________________
When war broke the colonial peace in 1775 the area we know as Golden Valley became known as Whitesides Company. This was due to an outstanding local militia captain William Whiteside.
"During the Revolution, Whiteside was appointed Captain of a local militia, and the entire area of the upper First Broad River, including considerable territory not presently within the Golden Valley Community, became known as "Whiteside's Company"."
Twenty Years before the California gold rush, the Valley rang with the sounds of hammers, picks and water blasters. This marked the beginning of the first placer mining on US soil. Whitesides, was inundated with prospectors and miners. Gold production was in full swing.
