BIG LAKE Township, settled in 1848, organized in 1858, and its city in sections 19, 20, and 30, at first called Humboldt, are named from the lake adjoining the village, a favorite place for picnics. Humboldt was the county seat until 1867, being succeeded by Elk River, and its name was changed to that of the township when the railroad was built in 1867. The village was incorporated on December 29, 1898; the post office began as Elk Prairie in 1854 while still part of Benton County, changing to Big Lake in 1855.
