Howevalley is an unincorporated community in Hardin County, Kentucky, United States. Howe Valley is located on Kentucky Route 86 12.3 miles (19.8 km) west of Elizabethtown.[2]

A post office operated in the community from 1852 to 1908. Howevalley (also historically spelled Howe's Valley and Howevalley) is situated in a valley of the same name, which in turn was named for John Howe, an early settler.[3] John Howe was in the American Revolutionary War and was given the land for his work.
