History[]

An early variant name was "Saint Leger".[2] A post office called Saint Leger was established in 1848, the name was changed to Udall in 1885, and the post office closed in 2003.[3] According to legend, the present name Udall is a contraction of "You doll, get up", a command, the story continues, was once overheard directed at a horse.[2]
