Description

The Chisago Lakes Area is named after an Indian phrase, "Ki Chi Saga," which means "fair & lovely waters." The Swedish simply called it "The Big Lake," as many of today's area lake comprised one large lake. The Chisago Lakes Area Chamber of Commerce includes the combined areas of Shafer, Center City, Chisago City and Lindstrom. Swedish immigrants settled in the Chisago Lakes area in the mid-1800s. The area became a popular tourist area, with the lakes and railroad coming through. The Depression years dried up the lakes and the tourists. There was a growth of tourism in the late 1940s, as the lakes began to prosper once again.
