Sams Valley is an unincorporated community in Jackson County, Oregon, United States.[1] It lies along Oregon Route 234 northeast of Gold Hill, in the Medford area.[2]
Originally named "Moonville",[3] the community takes its name from a valley that was named after Chief Sam of the Rogue River tribe of Native Americans.[4] [5] Sams Valley had its own post office from 1873 until 1953.[4] Today, the communities of Beagle, Antioch, and Table Rock are all considered part of Sams Valley.[3]
