Long before the lake drew picnic crowds, it was called Wetmore's Pond. The Silver Lake historical marker says it was named for Judge William Wetmore. He built a cabin overlooking the spring-fed lake in 1808. The marker stands at Silver Lake Boulevard and Hastings Road. Both street names are printed on this map.
By 1891, the lake was a place for a day out. Henry Howe's Historical Collections of Ohio describes steamers on the water. Woods and picnic grounds surrounded the lake. A nearby railroad station served visitors. Look at the broad blue water on this print and picture those boats. Steamers on the water, woods and picnic grounds: that was a day at Silver Lake in 1891.
