City History

Though the land that would become Medicine Lake was first purchased in 1858, it wasn’t until 1887 that it was plotted and opened to the public. Because the city is all residential, and quite small, it took some time to introduce better roads and electricity into the community. Today, though, Medicine Lake is a beautiful community with fewer than 500 residents.
