Hale Center was founded in 1893 with the merger of two rival communities, Hale City and Epworth, both founded in 1891.[7] Residents moved buildings to the new site. The new post office was named for the fact that the community is at the center of the county.[7]

A tornado destroyed downtown Hale Center on June 2, 1965, including many businesses, city hall, and the fire station. Casualties included five dead and 60 injured, with $8 million in property damage.[8]
