Shakopee Valley News is a newspaper in Shakopee, Minnesota, USA covering local news, sports, business, jobs, and community events.

The newspaper is published once a week on Thursday.

The News traces its roots to the founding of the Valley Herald in the late 1850s, and the Shakopee Argus, founded in 1861. The newspaper’s modern era began in 1941, when the Valley News was founded by three brothers: Cormac, Brendan and John Suel. (The newspaper serving the Shakopee area at that time was the Shakopee Argus-Tribune, and it was purchased by the Suels in 1960.) Publication of the Valley News was suspended shortly after the bombing of Pearl Harbor, when all three partners were called into World War II military service, but the newspaper resumed in late 1946 following their return from overseas duty. The newspaper was sold to George E. Roberts and James J. Jankiewicz, both of Colorado, in 1964. They, in turn, sold it to Red Wing Publishing – the parent company of Southwest Newspapers – in 1982.

Circulation: 4,745 copies
