A post office called Bear Valley was established in 1857, and remained in operation until 1902.[1] The community was so named on account of a bear sighting by early settlers in the valley.[2]
The Grange association at Bear Valley was one of the earliest in Minnesota, established in 1870. The Bear Valley Grange Hall was built in 1874.[3]
