From Wikidata (CC0).
Bowdle was platted in 1886. Bowdle most likely derives its name from C.C. Bowdle, the pioneer banker in the city. However, other sources claim the name either comes from Alexander M. Bowdle, an employee for the Chicago & Milwaukee Railroad, or G.M. Bowdle, a pioneer settler of Mitchell.
On May 22nd, 2010, Bowdle was struck by an EF4 tornado. While no fatalities or injuries were reported, the tornado did damage several farms to the north of town along with tossing multiple vehicles. The tornado was part of a larger outbreak taking place from the 22nd to the 25th.
