Green Valley is a suburb of Sydney, in the state of New South Wales, Australia. Green Valley is located 39 kilometres (24 mi) west of the Sydney central business district, in the local government area of the City of Liverpool and is part of the Greater Western Sydney region.
Green Valley was originally home to the Cabrogal people who spoke the Darug language. It was covered in eucalypt forests and home to native animals such as wallabies and possums that were hunted by the Cabrogal for meat, hides and bones. When Governor Lachlan Macquarie established a town at nearby Liverpool in 1810, the surrounding areas were soon granted to British settlers who began clearing the forests for farmlands.
A large area to the northwest of Liverpool was dubbed Green Valley. As well as the present-day suburb of Green Valley, it included what is now known as Ashcroft, Busby, Cartwright, Heckenberg, Miller, Sadleir and parts of Hinchinbrook and Mount Pritchard.
Thus, Green Valley Post Office was open from 1964 until 1973 when it was renamed Miller.
