| | Its oldest families have venerable names like Adams and Edwards; the Adamses claim ties to the family who produced two early US presidents, and I wouldn't be surprised if the Edwardses were kin to Jonathan Edwards of Great Awakening/Princeton University fame. | | | Perhaps the Valley's main claim to lasting fame (if a biographical entry in the Encyclopedia Britannica is a measure of such) is Belsano native son Malcolm Cowley, a leading literary figure and critic who rubbed shoulders with the likes of Thornton Wilder, William Faulkner, F. Scott Fitzgerald and others of the inter-war and post-war eras. | | | The Valley's most famous athlete also is a Blacklick Township native, former jockey Bill Hartack. |
