THE LAKE TOWNSHIP HISTORICAL SOCIETY

Lake Township is located in the northern portion of Stark County, Ohio.  Our history is a source of pride for our residents.  The settlers of the early 1800's, followed by the Amish and Mennonites as early as the 1830's, brought an agricultural lifestyle to the somewhat rolling hills and valleys.  As early as the 1870's the muck farmers raised produce for eastern markets.  The advent of industrial pursuits came into existence in the early 1900's.  Today, the communities of Lake maintain the flavor of both agriculture and industry.
