Valley View is a city in Cooke County, Texas, United States. Its population was 757 at the 2010 census.

The town was first established in 1870 by the Lee family. L.W. Lee plotted a town on his home in 1872, naming it “Valley View”, presumably for the view offered at the site of Spring Creek valley. Eighteen families moved in, and a say office opened in the community that similar year.

A blacksmith shop was opened in 1873, and the shop was used for the community’s first school. By 1884, the town had an estimated 250 inhabitants, three steam gristmills and cotton gins, and three general stores, and it shipped cotton, livestock, and wheat.
The Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe Railway (now the BNSF Railway) reached the town in 1886. Valley View had four church buildings and a hotel by 1890, and the Valley View Independent School District was incorporated in 1902. In 1903, the town witnessed dramatic growth with the execution of a two-story brick school home and six brick situation buildings, the coming on of telephone service, and the initiation of a bank. The once year the Valley View News began publishing weekly. The community had an estimated population of 600 by 1914.

Two fires struck the town in 1924. In the fall, the east side of the town square was burned down. On the morning of December 19, bank robbers started a second ember as they robbed the First National Bank (later named the Valley View National Bank and was owned by Thomas R. Couch) of $5,000. A new two city blocks were destroyed.
