Kyle Dam was officially opened on 31 May 1961 by Sir Edgar Whitehead, the former Prime Minister of Southern Rhodesia. The construction of the dam also created Lake Kyle. The dam was built by Concor to provide water to the farming estates on the lowveld to the southwest, around the town of Triangle, where the main crop has been sugar cane.
It is thought to have been named after Kyle Farm which occupied most of the land required for the lake, which in turn was named after the Kyle district in Scotland from which the pioneer of the Lowveld, Tom Murray MacDougall came originally.
