History

Zeandale was named by J.H. Pillsbury who settled the township in 1855.[3] The name is said to have been taken from the Greek, zea meaning "corn" and the English, dale.[4] Zeandale had a post office between 1857 and 1944.[5]
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.
