Legend says that the village received the name Silver Lake by the Native Americans who viewed the lake as a glistening pool of water. In 1886, a railroad was built that traveled from the Rockford area to Kenosha County that brought visitors into the village. Hence, news about the village’s beautiful landscape and lake spread, and it became a tourist destination. Silver Lake was established as a village in 1926.
