Contents

Eagle Bend began as a postal hamlet located directly on the Mississippi River. [3] In 1866, the river changed its course and created a natural cutoff called "Terrapin Neck". The former bend in the river soon silted up at either end, creating Eagle Lake, an oxbow lake. [4]

The population of Eagle Bend was 50 in 1900. [3] It was first named as a CDP in the 2020 Census which listed a population of 296. [5]

Eagle Bend is situated on the east shore of Eagle Lake, and is popular for fishing and water sports. [4]
