History

Lake Mills occupies the east shore of Rock Lake. The area was first settled by Captain Joseph Keyes. He called it “Lake Mills”, after building a saw mill and grist mill using power from nearby Rock Lake.

Lake Mills was chartered in 1836, and the first building was built in 1837. The village of Lake Mills incorporated in 1852 out of the surrounding town of Lake Mills. In 1866 the village changed its name to “Tyranena”, but changed it back again to “Lake Mills” the next year. (Tyranena is supposedly an indigenous name meaning “sparkling waters”.)
