History
editThe area of Lakeville was first settled by Euro-Americans in 1836. The railroad in 1845 spurred further growth. By the 1890s there were 13 one-room school houses in the vicinity. In 1898 they were consolidated into one two-story elementary school in Lakeville. The town of Lakeville was incorporated in 1902.[4]
The Lakeville post office has been in operation since 1850.[5]
Lakeville High School was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991.[6]
