WOLF LAKE Township, first settled in 1888 by immigrants from Finland, was organized April 4, 1896, receiving this name from its large lake, which was so named by the settlers on account of its form. Many wolves, bears, and deer were killed here during the first years of settlement. The city of Wolf Lake, in section 33, was incorporated as a village on May 12, 1949; had a country post office, 1909-11, under the name Wolf, and was reestablished as Wolf Lake in 1947.
