Valley-Hi is a borough in Fulton County, Pennsylvania, United States. The population was 7 at the 2020 census. The ski resort was not built, but he did retain the land and built houses around the lake. Following the construction of a bypass of two tunnels along the Turnpike, Gothie received compensation and an additional piece of land. A piece of road that was intended for public access was blocked by Gothie in 1973.
Valley-Hi borough was established in late 1973 when Gothie and a group of residents petitioned Fulton County to create the county's second borough (after McConnellsburg). An application was submitted and with no objections from the county nor Brush Creek Township, the township from which the borough would be created, the borough was incorporated on December 31, 1973. However, the Fulton County commissioners later filed a challenge to the original petition claiming the state election code requires voting districts to have at least 100 voters thus a borough mayor, council members, and other offices could not be elected. The borough's status was in limbo through the late 1970s with the Fulton County commissioners wanting to dissolve it but Commonwealth Court of Pennsylvania judges ruling to reinstate it, with the final ruling coming in September 1980. Jack Gothie would be elected to serve as mayor or councilman of the borough until his death in 1997.
