About Dale

Dale is a small, residential borough of about 1,000 residents in Cambria County, completely surrounded by the city of Johnstown. Even though it is tucked right into the city's street grid, Dale has operated as an independent borough since 1891, maintaining its own local council and municipal services. It originated as a settlement along old Conemaugh Valley travel routes, gradually growing into the compact, close-knit neighborhood found today.

Because Johnstown wraps entirely around Dale, getting around the greater area is quick and simple. Residents can reach downtown shops, local employers, and regional healthcare in just a few minutes, with Route 56 providing a direct route in and out of the valley. Families are served by the Ferndale Area School District, and the borough offers an affordable, accessible option for anyone looking for a quiet pocket community in western Pennsylvania.
