Welcome to Lake ...
So far, we found very little information about Lake. The little that we've found leads us believe that the community is historic.<1>
We've added Lake to our Gazetteer with the hope that we can develop more information. We would especially like to find the location of Lake - knowing its coordinates, we can explore things like its relationship to neighboring communities, nearby cemeteries, etc. If you can help us with Lake, please Contact Us.
While we don't have the exact location of Lake , we believe that it would have been located within present day Box Elder County<2>.
While we don't have a date for the founding of Lake, you might get a feel for it by knowing that the earliest mention that we've found (so far) was in a book dated 1895.
Time Zone: The area where Lake was located is in the Mountain Time Zone (MST/MDT) and observes daylight saving time

Footnotes ...
| <1> | We use the term 'Historic' broadly and it generally means that the community no longer exists. However, it can also mean that the community might still exist, but was significantly larger or had a more 'official' existence in the past than it does now. Unfortunately our sources of data have proven to be unreliable. If you can provide us with more specific information about Lake, please let us know so that we can improve our accuracy. |
