Post Office 1886-1959

LAKE CREEK POSTOFFICE

In the beginning  the post office in Lake Creek the town was two words.  In 1894 for some reason it was changed to one word Lakecreek.  Brian Zablochy in 2007 was doing  research for his collage paper and sent a letter to the state to have it changed back to two words.  So it is now two words as it should be.  Thank you Brian!
