The urban district (original the municipality) is called to the old farm Valle (Skandinavier Vollr), since the first church was established there. The form of the name is the case of genitive, from general expressions the Vallar kirkja (church) and from the Vallar sókn (municipality). Valle is appropriate in the middle in Setesdal, one lowers and for a traditional district in Aust Agder, which included the urban districts of Bykle, Valle, Bygland, Iveland and Evje og Hornnes. The Otra river flows from the Hardangervidda hochebene into Telemark to the north, by lowers from Setesdal (and by Valle), into the sea near the Kristiansand. Valle is separated from neighbouring lowering in the east and in the west by large mountain high levels. Before lower by road to Kristiansand in the 1840s one connected, people traveled by routine the east and the west over this swampland. The highest point is the Skammefjell with m. wasserfaellen 1418 along-includes the Hallandsfossen and the Gloppefossen. There is two central population of ranges in the urban district, in the Valle and in the Rysstad, with the line of the city district, which is convenient in Valle. These were original in two different urban districts (Rysstad was a part of the Hylestad of city district), but Hylestad and Valle 1962 were combined. The Hylestad Daubekirche, designs in 13. Century, in Setesdal became in 19. Century demoliert. Its portal, if some carved scenes illustrate the legend, of Sigurd Fåvnesbane (Sigurd of the Drache Dragon slayer), is on announcement on the university museum of antiques in Oslo (Universitetets Oldsaksamling, Historisk museum, Oslo). Sigurds the Slaying of Fafnir is described as well as alluded in the Prosa Edda of Snorri Sturluson and the Saga by the Volsungs, Beowulf and Njals in to the Saga. The Byklestigen run is one up torturous trace a steep cliff face. Until the 1870s was it the only way, lowers to of Valle the middle Setesdal to Bykle in the north to travel. The place of assembly of the numerous accidents on the dangerous way Bykle runs away by the older urban district of Valle 1903 was split up over the river Otra and was. Between Valle in Setesdal on the western side of the mountains and Fyresdal on the eastern side, one finds a medieval rail over the high hochebene, which priests and Bishops maintained, between the counties from Agder and Telemark to to receive. This rail is called Bispevegen ("Road of the Bishops") and each year begins one March, the "Bispevegmarsjen" is called ("Road March of the Bishops") with Kleivgrend in Fyresdal.
