In the mid-1800s, a pioneer by the name of Andrew Darling established a very successful farm in the area near present-day Lake Darling. Later on, at some point, the lake was named in his honor. This is the story behind most of the lakes in this region, as well as the story behind many of the cities and townships that prosper from them. Since the very beginning of Douglas County’s establishment, people from around the Midwest chose the Land of 10,000 Lakes as a place for them to escape. As a matter of fact, Alexander and William Kinkead, two brothers who were military veterans and are recognized as being founders of the first settlement in what is considered modern-day Alexandria, built the first log cabin and hotel in the area with the sole purpose of building a resort town. During the Dakota War of 1862, Native Americans from the Dakota tribe, angered over white settlers breaching federal treaties and stealing their land, attacked numerous European settlements, causing many of the settlers to flee the area and never return. Nevertheless, the Treaty of Fort Laramie was presented to the Dakota bands and signed April 29, 1868. This allowed the area to begin growing once again until it became what is seen today.
