History

Zeandale was named by J.H. Pillsbury, who settled the township in 1855. The name is said to have been taken from the Greek, ''zea'' meaning "corn" and the English, ''dale''. Zeandale had a post office from 1857 to 1944. It is also home to Zeandale Community Church, established in 1896. The church was originally associated with the Stone-Campbell Restoration movement (Christian Church), but was re-established in the 1950s as a non-denominational community church. The community has a rural, volunteer fire department, updated in 2002 with a new building. Zeandale almost grew by a factor of four in 2005, when a Manhattan developer cited land for sale surrounding Zeandale as prime real-estate for the growing Manhattan market. However, Riley County zoning regulations prevented the subdivision, and inevitable incorporation.
