Webb Lake

Even more than 60 years ago, the draw of the Webb Lake area was evident. ere are 16 named lakes in and around the Webb Lake area, with abundant sh species.

Logging was a big enterprise in the early days. Logs were boomed across Webb Lake into Webb Creek, then down the Namekagon and St. Croix Rivers and into Stillwater, Minn.

Early accounts refer to the town as “Webb’s Lake,” named a er a trapper who operated a trading post in the area. Maps from the early 20th century identify the town as Weblake due to the then postal department accepting only one-word names. Why the second “b” in Webb was le out is unknown. e town was almost named Harrison in honor of Army General William Henry Harrison. In 1838, the name “Webb Lake” became o cial with the postal department.

Several businesses had already sprung up by then, some still going today. In the 1920s, the Webb Lake Narrows Resort opened its doors. In the 1930s, the rst recorded Webb Lake Store began operating, known presently as the Main Store. Today’s Cabaret, a tavern and eatery, also opened in the 1930s under another name.

It was Ivan Johnson, the town’s postmaster, who was most responsible for making Webb Lake a growing concern in the 1940s and 50s. He added feed and our, tires and clothing to the inventory at the Webb Lake Store. With the help of his wife, he also began marketing ice cream.
