Development of the site began in 1933, when the Kansas Emergency Relief Corporation established a work camp at the site. Digging of the lake was taken over by the Federal Works Progress Administration (WPA) in 1936. Construction was completed in 1937, and the lake was purchased by the city of Eskridge.[2]
