Negley is named after James S. Negley, a Civil War Major General who hailed from Pittsburgh. After the end of the war, Negley served in the United States House of Representatives in the late 19th century and later entered the railroad business. He was president of the New York, Pittsburgh & Chicago Railway, which in 1883 platted Negley as the first new town along its rail line, named in his honor. A Negley post office has been in operation since 1883.

Negley grew into a small mining community based on a nearby coal mine operated by the Powers Mining Company. The community formerly had an honor roll for residents who were veterans of World War II, but it was removed in the 1960s due to deterioration.
