It consists of the towns of La Fayette, Van Buren, and Dublin United, and is situated at the mouth of Grant river in a romantic and picturesque valley with a stream of pure water running through it. This valley sometimes called Snake Hollow is three miles long and varies from one hundred to three hundred yards in width.
