Long Lake and Raquette Lake are communities rich with history and a fascinating past. History is ever evolving, whether its knowing where a special camp was from the 1960's to
the discovery of the Buttercup on the bottom of Long Lake. There are rich traditions in these woods. Here is a smattering.
The Town of Long Lake was first settled in the 1830s by Joel Plumley, David Keller and E. H. St. John. Plumleys and Kellers still reside in Long Lake. The first houses were log cabins until mills were established. The first mill, owned by St. John, was near the South Pond outlet in Deerland, another was the Robinson mill on the stream at the beginning of Endion Road, and another was near Fishing Brook on the way to Newcomb.
