Valentia is a small community founded in 1807, located in the city of Kawartha Lakes, just south of the town of Lindsay on County Road 18[1] northeast of Lake Scugog. During its bicentennial celebrations in August 2007, it held its first Valentia Heritage Rodeo.[2]
In 2014, the Valentia Church celebrated its 125 anniversary as part of the Valentia Heritage Weekend. It was first constructed as a Methodist church but then became a United church.
