History
Aeneas Valley, located in northeastern Okanogan County, is steeped in a rich history of homesteading, logging, and ranching. Named after Chief Aeneas of the Colville Confederated Tribes, the valley has long been a haven for those seeking solitude and connection to the land. In the early 1900S, settlers were drawn by its fertile soils, abundant timber, and seasonal water sources. Over the decades, the valley evolved into a tight-knit rural community of off-grid homes, recreational cabins, and small farms. The area remains largely undeveloped, retaining its rustic charm and natural appeal. Today, Aeneas Valley is cherished for its wide open spaces, access to public lands, and tranquil, back-to-nature lifestyle.
