History

The lake and the surrounding land was first home to the Ottawa, Pottawatomie and Chippewa Native Americans. Many roads are now named after one Ottawa chief named Chief Noonday, in honor of the strength he had shown.

In the 1890s, as many as 5,000 people would attend a five-day farmers market on the lake's shore.
