Dale is an unincorporated community in Grant County, Oregon, United States. It
is located on U.S. Route 395 within the Umatilla National Forest about 17 miles
south of Ukiah. It is near the Umatilla-Grant County border just south of the 45th
parallel north.
The first post office at this locale was established in 1887 and named Dorman after
James W. Dorman, the first postmaster. The name was changed to Dale in 1891. The
office may have been moved south from its original location in Umatilla County and
it was shown as being in Grant County by 1903. According to the compiler of Oregon
Geographic Names, who did not think that the local terrain resembled a dale, "The
name Dale as applied to this locality may have had a significance other than
topographic." Mail for Dale is now handled by the Ukiah post office, ZIP code 97880.
In 1940, Dale had a service station and store that still serves the community today.
Dale Ranger Station was open by 1911 and closed sometime before 2008.
A County map will really help in finding these places.
