History:  

SILVER LAKE, a city in sections 33 and 34 of Hale Township platted in 1881 and incorporated on December 23, 1889, is situated at the north side of Silver Lake. It was settled primarily by Czechs and Poles. Its post office was established as Fremont in Hennepin County in 1856 and transferred to McLeod County in 1859, continuing until 1861; a farm post office was established in 1867 as Silver Lake, and the site was called Fremont until the general store was built in 1881, at which time the townsite was laid out as Silver Lake; the farm post office moved a number of times; it had a station of the Minneapolis and St. Louis Railroad.
