From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

TWIN LAKES, a railway village in section 12, Nunda, was partly platted in 1858, being the site of a sawmill and a flouring mill many years previous to the building of the railway in 1877-78. It was incorporated on April 8, 1957. Its post office was named Nunda, 1859-81, then changed to Twin Lakes. The fall of Goose Creek, outflowing from the neighboring Twin Lakes, supplies valuable water power.
