It is unknown how the name Valencia was chosen. The borough's application for incorporation was granted in September 1896, and the office of burgess was established, to which James Douthett Magee was appointed, together with a seven-member council consisting of Edward Cowan, J. D. Perry, C. F. Harrobin, J. A. Cox, J. C. Barr, P. E. Cooper, and W. J. Craig.
