Geocache Description:

Next up, #3, Dale City.

In 1862, the town of Dale City was laid out.  That same year, Lonsdale & Kenworthy started a store at the Lonsdale Woolen Mills.  This establishment was the beginning of the decline for Morrisburg, a small town just up the road.  Dale’s woolen mill was in operation for many years but finally closed in 1917, when dyes from Germany could not be obtained due to WWI, and thus, the population of Dale city began to decline.  Dale City was an important stop along the Underground Railroad that passed through southern Guthrie County.
