Castle Dale, Utah is located "on U-10 and Cottonwood Creek in Castle Valley, ten miles northeast of Ferron. The initial desire of the community was to name their town Castle Vale, but the post office listed it as Castle Dale and it was never changed. There are many castle-like geologic formations in the region." <ref>John W. Van Cott, ''Utah Place Names: A Comprehensive Guide To the Origins of Geographic Names'' (Salt Lake City: University of Utah Press, 1990), 69.</ref> | Castle Dale, Utah is located "on U-10 and Cottonwood Creek in Castle Valley, ten miles northeast of Ferron.
