Valley View was incorporated as a village in 1919 after they broke away from Independence, Ohio, after an argument of the location of the schools. Former Mayor Randall Westfall resigned from office on March 8, 2013. Council President Jerry Piasecki took over as Mayor. An election was held in November 2013 to determine who will serve as Mayor for the remainder of Westfall's term, which ends in 2015. Mr. Piasecki won the election.
