Longdale is a town in Blaine County, Oklahoma, United States. The population was 262 at the 2010 census.
Longdale School, which closed in 1991, was home to the world-famous "Longdale Redmen". The Redmen were widely known throughout both hemispheres for the successful sports teams fielded throughout the 20th Century. In 1991, the Longdale Redmen celebrated their tenth consecutive National Kickball Championship. The 1990-91 teams also captured championships in basketball (Greenfield Tournament, Progressive Tournament, Canton Tournament and Hitchcock Tournament), flag football (National 8th Grade Champions), cross-country, 4-Square, 500, Heads-Up 7-Up, and wiffleball. As Longdale continues to grow throughout the 21st century the city is being overflowed with many successful businesses. Longdale's growing population had become a concern. The population of Longdale has grown to over 100 people and the housing can not keep up with the major climb in population.
