Mattydale was named for the farm of Frank Matty.

Although born in nearby Chittenango, New York, Wizard of Oz author L. Frank Baum spent much of his childhood on the site of Roxboro Road Middle School. He later moved to the Sports-O-Rama roller rink site on the first plank road in the country known as Route 11. Freethought Trail says, "The yellowish hemlock wood of the plank road may have been an inspiration for the Yellow Brick Road". A vacant lot since the Sports-O-Rama skating rink was torn down in 2015, the site previously featured two roadhouses after the Baum family residence. Built in succession following fires, the last roadhouse/hotel succumbed to blazes in 1957 and the final fire in 1958.
