In 1833 in North Murray County, Georgia, a stagecoach stop called “Pleasant Valley” was established. Around 1872, the Pleasant Valley Academy was organized. Upon completion of the railroad in 1906, the Town was renamed “Eton” in honor of Eton College in England and its excellent academic reputation. Despite the name change and the Incorporation in 1909, Eton, Georgia continues to be the home of Pleasant Valley living.
