Van Dyne was first planned out in 1866 by a person named Daniel Van Duyne. It became an important stop along the railroad line that connected the cities of Fond du Lac and Oshkosh. This made it a busy place for people traveling and sending goods. A post office has been helping people send and receive mail in Van Dyne ever since 1866.
