History

Round Valley was the site of the Gibson Ranch in the late 19th century into the 20th century:

In 1881, Joseph Gibson moved to what is now Round Valley and established a ranch there. He worked as a freighter, mail carrier, and of course, rancher. He was instrumental in establishing a mail service to Gisela and was the first mail carrier to that area. In 1892, Joseph died in Globe due to a crushed leg. His wife, Ruth, sold the ranch at Round Valley to Bill and Harvey Colcord in 1904. Her son, Wash Gibson, later bought it back. Then even later on, Wash's son, Randall Gibson, owned the ranch. Randall branded U Lazy Y.
