A post office called Sugar Valley has been in operation since 1844.[2] The community may have been named after a grove of sugar maple trees near the original town site.[3]
The Georgia General Assembly incorporated Sugar Valley as a town in 1887.[4] The town's municipal charter was repealed in 1995.[5]
