Lake Lillian Minnesota Community Guide


Location:
  Location of Lake Lillian, Minnesota

East on Highway 7, close to the southeast corner of the county, approximately 17 miles from Willmar, is the town of Lake Lillian. With a special small-town charm and welcoming residents, Lake Lillian has rightfully earned the title of being “A Friendly Town.” On top of the quiet and affordable living conditions, Lake Lillian’s main city park is equipped with a playground for all ages, picnic shelter, horseshoe pits, softball diamond and plenty of room to run or relax and enjoy the outdoors. Once you’ve worked up an appetite, don’t miss out on The Food Garage—the locals’ favorite place to eat out!

The entire community stays very active through many different social outlets. Lake Lillian offers library programs, senior citizen activities, church groups, civic organizations, community celebrations and more. The town itself is close to lakes and outdoor recreational opportunities, including Big Kandiyohi Lake County Park East and Big Kandiyohi Lake County Park West. It’s also within easy driving distance of bigger cities, including Willmar, Hutchinson and both campuses of Ridgewater College.

History:  

LAKE LILLIAN Township was organized January 23, 1872. The lake was named in honor of the wife of artist and author, Edwin Whitefield, who accompanied the first exploring party to the Kandiyohi Lakes in the summer of 1856. The city on the border of Lake Lillian and East Lake Lillian Townships was established as the first village on the Luce Line (Minnesota Western Railroad) in section 18 of East Lake Lillian Township; it was incorporated as a village February 15, 1926, and separated from the township on March 23; its post office operated 1868-1906 and since 1923.
