About Island Lake (327 words)
Around the same time that Justus Bangs was settling on the shores of Bangs Lake, Jeremy and Thomas Slocum were settling on the shores of Slocum Lake.
The first area post office was located at Slocum Lake, but the settlement did not prosper so in June of 1849 the post office was moved to Wauconda.
But their plans were no match for the Depression of the 30's, and the newly created lake became a private fishing preserve for an exclusive group of sportsmen from Chicago.
