The city was founded by a Presbyterian minister who came from New York, George Washington Gale; naturally, the area was named after him. In 1835, a committee from New York paid for a 17-acre land in Knox County. It was on this land that a settlement comprised of temporary cabins was built the following year. These settlers decided that there should be no permanent log cabin built inside the boundaries of the town.
Through the years, the area developed and became home to a manual labor college now called Knox College, the makers (Western) of the Gale automobile which was named for the town and the historic Carr Mansion which became the site of the only presidential cabinet meeting not held in Washington D.C.
