Lake City was not always called Lake City. In

the early 1800's it was called Miles Grove. It

was named after Judge Miles who's home was

in Elk Creek. His home was also a Station on

the Underground Railroad.

Around 1832 it was also called Girard Station.

This came about when Dan Rice established Rice

Avenue to connect Lake City and Girard, so that

he could transport his Circus back and forth using

the railroad. The Station is now the All Aboard

Dinor.

In the 1800's Lake City was a hub of hustle and

activity because of the railroad, the business

and activity surrounding it.

The "All Aboard Diner" as it is know by now,

was at one time the local train station. President

Abraham Lincoln once campaigned from that

platform during his campaign for the presidency.

Lake City was Incorporated in 1926 and at the

2000 census the population was about 2,811.
