Dale was platted along the Rock Island railroad line before statehood. The Dale Post Office opened October 26, 1893. Initially named King, for John King, an Absentee-Shawnee Indian who owned the allotted land on which the community was founded. The community was renamed in 1895, for Frank Dale, the second Chief Justice of the Territorial Supreme Court (1893-1898).
