History
After the flood receded, the village relocated to higher ground about 2 miles (3 km) atop the bluffs to the east, on the north side of the eponymous valley. Valmeyer's story has been well-documented in both the national and international media, most notably on public television's Nova (TV series) program and as a front-page article in the New York Times in 1996. This was an intentional design element in the original levee plan, using the sparsely populated agricultural areas surrounding Valmeyer as a relief valve for the more valuable real estate in the levee districts north of Valmeyer, including St. Louis. The population was 1200 at the 2006 census.
Valmeyer's name originated from the name of a German immigrant who settled there, Val-Meyer, literally:"'The valley of the Meyers'".
