Zeandale, Kansas
Zeandale is a census-designated place (CDP) in Riley County, Kansas, United States.[1] As of the 2020 census, the population was 62.[2] It is located about 6.8 miles (10.9 km) east of Manhattan at the intersection of Tabor Valley Rd and K-18 highway (aka Zeandale Rd). 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. GeographyThe elevation of the community is 1,011 feet (308 m) above sea level.[1] DemographicsZeandale is part of the Manhattan Metropolitan Statistical Area.
EducationThe community is served by Wamego USD 320 public school district.[6] References
