Cloverdale is a village in Perry Township, Putnam County, Ohio, United States.

Cloverdale was originally called Evansville, and under the latter name was platted in 1877 when the railroad was extended to that point.

[5] The present name most likely is derived from the Clover Leaf Railroad, which passed through a nearby junction.
