Originally named "Moonville",[3] the community takes its name from a valley that was named after Chief Sam of the Rogue River tribe of Native Americans.[4][5] Sams Valley had its own post office from 1873 until 1953.[4] Today, the communities of Beagle, Antioch, and Table Rock are all considered part of Sams Valley.[3]
