As the Owensboro & Russellville Railroad built south from
Owensboro, one of the families who contributed land for the
right-of-way was Joshua G. Crow. Crow owned 290 acres that lay
along the range of hills south of Panther Creek. In return for the
easement for the rail line, Crow was granted the right for a “station”
or flag-stop on the line. This depot was named Crow’s Station,
but the name was later changed to Brown’s Valley to honor
Orville O. Brown, a farmer and carpenter who lived nearby. He
later opened a store which remained in business for many years
and he served as the local agent for the railroad. The name was
changed to Brown’s Valley largely because of the many years of
service Brown performed in representing the people’s interests in
disputes with the railroad.
