Cedar Vale was founded in 1869 by J. R. Marsh, who was "hunting a place of peace and rest". He was captivated by the local tall-grass prairie, the beauty of nearby Lookout Mountain, and the rich bottom-land of the Caney River Valley.
Platted the following year, the town was not "square with the world". Cedar Vale was laid out on the diagonal rather than aligning with north-south compass points, so that looking down Cedar Street gave an unobstructed view of Caney River and Cedar Creek Valleys, and the junction of the two streams.
Cedar Vale has never been a boom or a bust town. Fortunately, its residents have enjoyed a modest but solid economy, waxing and waning with the fortunes of the agricultural enterprises of the area.
