Other villages in Valle include Besteland, Brokke, Homme, Hovet, Rygnestad, Rysstad, and Uppstad.

On 1 July 1915, the southern district of Valle (population: 658) was separated to form the new municipality of Hylestad.

This means the arms have a red field (background) and the charge is a group of five saltire (St. Andrew's cross).

The crosses have a tincture of Or which means it is commonly colored yellow, but if it is made out of metal, then gold is used.

The Otra river flows from the Hardangervidda plateau in Telemark to the north, through the Setesdal valley (and through Valle), into the sea near the city of Kristiansand.

Valle is separated from the neighbouring valleys in the east and west by the large Setesdalsheiene mountain plateaus.

Before the valley was linked by road to Kristiansand in the 1840s, people routinely traveled east and west across these moorlands.

The high mountains are the starting points for several large rivers including the Kvina and Tovdalselva.

Several large lakes are also located in Valle including Botnsvatnet, Kolsvatnet, Rosskreppfjorden, Store Bjørnevatn, Straumsfjorden, and Øyarvatnet.

Its portal, with several carved scenes illustrating the legend of Sigurd Fåvnesbane (Sigurd the Dragon-slayer), is on display at University Museum of Antiquities in Oslo (Universitetets Oldsaksamling, Historisk Museum, Oslo).

[13] Rygnestadtunet is a historical family farm in Rygnestad, built by Vonde-Åsmund (Åsmund the Evil) in the mid-1500s.

To get from Valle to the Bykle area to the north, residents had to traverse the Byklestigen pass along the river Otra.

Today, the Norwegian National Road 9 passes through the mountain in a tunnel providing a fast, easy route north.

The municipal council (Kommunestyre) of Valle is made up of 15 representatives that are elected to four-year terms.
