The Valleydale Packers Inc. was the original plant and headquarters for Neuhoff Incorporated (later renamed Valleydale Packers), a major industrial meat-packing operation in the Southeastern United States. Established in 1936, it became one of the largest employers in Salem and helped launch the city into a new era of industrial prosperity. The plant complex consists of a 1951 International-style office wing at the front, and interconnected one and two-story masonry buildings behind it, constructed between 1936 and 1971, where the various activities of the meat processing operations took place. On-site cattle slaughtering ended in the late 1970s, and the plant closed entirely in 2005. The facility is listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) for its industrial and architectural significance.
