Communities:  Bill's Valley


Bill's Valley is wholly in the town of Arcadia and may be said to cover and include sections 11, 12, 13 and 14 in 20-10.  The Valley's more a depression than a valley, as it has no real creek or watercourse.  It was settled in 1860 by John Bill Sr. and soon others came, making it an early pioneer community, principally of German families, though later many of the settlers were Irish.
