The Community of Newdale is situated in the RM of Harrison.

Newdale was named by Edward Cook, the area's first postmaster. It is derived from "new", meaning new district, and "dale", meaning the low ground south of the little mountain (Mosquito Hill).  The first location of Newdale is not the same as it is today. It was originally located about 5 kilometers (3 miles) south of the present community. The original area is now known as "Old dale". When the CP rail line came through in 1885, the community moved to its present location to be near the site of the rail line.

Population in Newdale is just under 500.  There are several Communities nearby such as; Basswood, Strathclair, Sandy Lake, Erickson, Shoal Lake, Minnedosa.  The total surrounding area is well over 3,000 people!!
