BAY LAKE Township received its name from its large lake, which was so named for its irregular outline, with many bays, projecting points, and islands. Its Ojibwe name, like that of another lake of similar form in Aitkin County, was Sisabagama (accented on the third syllable), meaning, according to Gilfillan, "Every-which-way lake, or the lake which has arms running in all directions." A post office was in section 4, 1884-85 and 1892-1904
