Lakewood Platted by the Western Town Lot Co. in 1897 and appropriately named for the lake in the nearby woods. Information provided by Deana Hipke.  The Tourtilotte family operated a trading post at Waubee Lake in the mid 1800s.  This was sold to Mr. Langlois and then became a resort under the ownership of Hick McConley.  The 60 lakes and 200 miles of trout streams with the 6 mile radius of Lakewood attracted John Anderson, thought to be the first white settler in Lakewood, who bought 80 acres of land that was later occupied by the Lowery family.
