History of Sundale

Sundale has a simple but interesting history. It was officially recognized as a place with its own post office way back in 1880. A post office is where people send and receive letters and packages. Having a post office meant Sundale was an important spot for people living nearby.

The post office in Sundale stayed open for many years, helping the community connect with the outside world. It finally closed its doors in 1920. Besides the post office, Sundale also had a railroad depot. A railroad depot is like a train station, where trains would stop to pick up and drop off passengers and goods. This shows that Sundale was once a busy place, connected by both mail and train services.
