History

The area that is now Madison Lake was originally called Barclay's addition. In 1881, this land was deeded to L.S. Barclay for the town and was shortly thereafter named Madison Lake. [5] A post office called Madison Lake has been in operation since 1885. [6] The town took its name from nearby Madison Lake, which was named for President James Madison. [7] The Village was incorporated in 1892. [5]

The Wisconsin, Minnesota and Pacific Railroad built westward from Red Wing, Minnesota, reaching Madison Lake by 1884 at a distance 78.4 miles. [8] [9] Mankato, a further 20 miles westward, was reached by 1887. The railroad line became part of the Chicago Great Western Railroad. [10] This is now the route of the Cannon Valley Trail.

On Friday, December 23, 1910, four blocks of downtown Madison Lake were devastated by fire. The loss was estimated at $100,000 at the time. [11]
