About West Valley
West Valley is a hamlet in the Town of Ashford in Cattaraugus County, New York, United States. As of the 2020 census, West Valley had a population of 452. The community is listed as a census-designated place.
Located at the intersection of Cattaraugus County Route 53 and State Route 240/County Route 32, the hamlet is home to West Valley Central School and the West Valley Demonstration Project, a nuclear cleanup facility. Because of the presence of a school district, a telephone exchange (716–942), and a post office located in (and named after) the hamlet, many people mistake West Valley to be the name of an actual town or village. However, it does not have any autonomous government separate from the town of Ashford.
