Zeandale is a census-designated place (CDP) in Riley County, Kansas, United States. As of the 2020 census, the population was 62.[1] It is located about east of Manhattan at the intersection of Tabor Valley Rd and K-18 highway (aka Zeandale Rd). Zeandale is part of the Manhattan Metropolitan Statistical Area.
Zeandale was named by J.H. Pillsbury who settled the township in 1855.[2] The name is said to have been taken from the Greek, zea meaning "corn" and the English, dale.[3] Zeandale had a post office between 1857 and 1944.[4]
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.
The elevation of the community is above sea level.
The community is served by Wamego USD 320 public school district.
