County:   King

City Name History:   Original title of Valley City was rejected by the post office as a duplication of a community named already existing in the state. A town meeting on February 10, 1910 selected the Native-American word Algoma, meaning "valley of flowers". Postal authorities accepted the name, but misspelled it in official records.
