History

A sawmill was built and put into operation in 1869. In 1861, there was an attempt to build one on Mill Creek, the outlet of the Great Lakes but the attempt was abandoned after the Indian raid of 1862 and the extremely low water level that year. It attracted many pioneers because of the rich black soil, water from the lakes, and an abundance of wild game and fish. The mills began to attract many customers, and the small community began to grow. The town includes many businesses related to its location in the Iowa Great Lakes region.

The Iowa Great Lakes Area was settled in the 1850s.
