Valley City is an unincorporated community in central Liverpool Township, Medina County, Ohio, United States.

In 1810, Seba Bronson, Jr., a Revolutionary War Veteran, arrives in the "Hardscrabble" area of Liverpool Township (corner of Columbia Rd and Grafton Rd.).

As a so-called "squatter", Bronson occupies the land, plants corn, builds a dwelling, and establishes a thriving salt works.

Since 1962, it has held an annual contest patterned after Mark Twain's story, "The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County."

In 1969, a few Valley City champion frogs competed in the larger contest in Calaveras County, California, including one belonging to Governor Rhodes.
