History
A post office called Three Lakes has been in operation since 1885. The community was named from its location near three lakes. As an early railroad was being surveyed, the surveyors had to backtrack and re-route the tracks two times to get around the three lakes. The explanation penciled in on the surveyor's map was 'three lakes', hence where the town got its name. The three lakes the town is named for are Maple Lake, Town Line Lake and Range Lake.
