Geocache Description:

The cache is NOT at this location!






Rice Lake was incorporated on April 1, 1887. This year, 2012, the city is celebrating it's 125th birthday.

Rice Lake had its beginning in 1864 when Knapp, Stout and Company constructed a storage dam on the site of an earlier Indian village and a wild rice bed, taking the name of the community from that location. A mill was started at the dam in 1871 by M. W. Heller, who was the first permanent settler to move his family to the area. Heller was also in charge of the first store, hotel, and blacksmith shop, which made the settlement the center for northern operations of Knapp, Stout and Company until the large stands of white pines in the area were exhausted. The original plat of the city included a 100 foot wide thoroughfare that is still the heart of the business district.
