The area in what is known as Dialville today was first settled in the late-1840s and was part of Beverly Pool's three-league grant. The community itself was not founded until John Dial opened a store on the Kansas and Short Gulf Line Railroad in 1883. It was originally known as Dial. A post office was established at Dialville in 1885 and was closed a year later. It reopened when John Thomas Bailey opened a store here in 1897 while the other one closed, and the community was a stop on the railroad. C.D. Jarrett then moved to Dialville and turned it into a shipping point for tomatoes, peaches, and other produce around 1900. Its population was 400 in 1915 and had two churches, a bank, and a newspaper titled the Dialville News. A theater was opened by L.E. Scott the next year and another newspaper called the Dialville Reporter was established. It began to decline that next decade and lost half of its population by the early 1930s, causing many of the stores and businesses to close. Only two churches and one store remained by the late 1980s. The population remained at 200 with three businesses in 2000.[2]
John Dial had moved to the area with 60 other wagons and farmed the land when he arrived. Dial and his wife, Ida Mae Jones, deeded 8 acres (3.2 ha) of land for the railroad depot. Today, the community remains as an important part of the county's regional and agricultural history.[3]
