This Month’s Fun Fact
In olden times, the community now known as Coaldale had gone through several name changes. What were some of Coaldale’s previous names?
The post office underwent several name changes–Hayden Creek (1878); Palmer (1880-1887); and Hendricks (1878-1891). On February 16, 1891, the post office name was changed to Coaldale–attributed to the charcoal kilns located there in early days.
