 As Romney Depot 's passenger and freight services expanded and a populated place continued to develop around the depot , the need for a post office began to grow . On February 6 , 1928 , a " location form " was submitted to the United States Post Office Department suggesting that the Valley post office be located at Romney Depot in Depot Valley . The form noted the post office at Valley would be located a mere 1 @.@ 75 miles ( 2 @.@ 82 km ) northeast of the Vanderlip post office along the South Branch line . The United States Post Office Department established the post office at Valley on May 19 , 1928 . The post office at Valley was disestablished on June 15 , 1937 , and its mail was afterward routed to the post office at Romney .
