History
The lake, from which the village derives its name, is an oxbow lake near the Chippewa River between Eau Claire and Chippewa Falls. Here, in 1843, the McCann brothers joined with Jeremiah C. Thomas to build the Blue Mill, which used the lake as a holding pond for logs. Later, after several changes of ownership and many improvements, this mill was acquired by the Badger State Lumber Company and became known as Badger Mills. Its operations were discontinued in the 1890s due to a shortage of logs.
In an open effort to prevent further annexation and utility encroachment by the cities of Chippewa Falls from the northeast and Eau Claire from the southwest, the village was incorporated by referendum from a large portion of the town of Hallie on February 28, 2003. Over 95% of the town of Hallie's residents in 2000 lived within the new village. The village has experienced substantial growth since its incorporation; its 2010 population was 6,448, a 37.1% increase over the town of Hallie's 2000 population of 4,703.
