History

Mary Rae, a native of England was born June 15, 1816. She came to America in 1833 and resided in what was to become known as “English Prairie”. In 1837 she was married to Jonathan Imeson, also an early settler on the prairie. Their son Robert was the first born son of European descent in the county. There were eight children in all, including the first set of twins born on the prairie. The girls were baptized Mary and Elizabeth. Both lakes were named after these girls, Lake Mary & Lake Elizabeth, which extended into Illinois, and almost to the English Prairie.

A post office called Twin Lakes has been in operation since 1891.
