Valle was once the owner and the road was then Valle Road. It later was changed to Valley Road and then to Jesus Valley Road.

Is that the one off from Rte 28? Maybe a mile prior to the new high school whilst heading north.
There's a similarly interesting story about Barnstead's Africa Road (located off from the beaten path in the puckabrush). Wish I could recall it to memory.
