Aredale is a city in Butler County, Iowa, United States.

The area surrounding the town had seen increasing settlement since the 1860s, and in 1890, the local dairy farmers pooled their resources to create a cheese making factory, which eventually helped the town develop enough to warrant the community its own post office and thus township rights.

The plat was recorded on June 28, 1900, by the Iowa and Minnesota Town Site Company.

Soon the town featured a number of competing lumberyards and stockyards, and the Aredale Savings and Loan was constructed in 1901.
