Mountain Dale is an unincorporated community in southeastern Webster County, in the U.S. state of Missouri.[1] The community is located on Missouri Route C, approximately 2.5 miles north of Seymour and just south of the James River headwaters. The Mountain Dale cemetery lies about one-quarter mile to the west.[2] Owen Field airstrip and the community of Waldo lie about three-quarters of a mile to the east, along Missouri Route V.[3]
The community took its name from a former school built about 1865.[4] The school was located near a mountain and a dale, hence the name, Mountain Dale.[4]
