Valley County was organized in 1873 during a period of pronounced settlement in the state. Ord, the present county seat, was elected to that position the same year. County officials built a small courthouse in 1875-76. In the late 1880s a larger and more pretentious courthouse replaced the original. Although talk of another courthouse began in 1915, it was not until 1919 that voters approved a bond issue to help finance its construction. Work began that same year and in 1921 the Beaux Arts courthouse was completed.
