English Lake, Indiana
English Lake is an unincorporated community in Starke County, Indiana, United States, located along the Kankakee River. It is a small community of only a few hundred individuals. It is named for English Lake, which once existed at the junction of the Yellow River with the Kankakee. The headquarters for the Kankakee Fish and Wildlife Area is located at English Lake.
English Lake was called Lake Divine or Outrelaise by the french colonizers of New France. It was named in honor of the governor of New France's wife and her friend who where extremely beautiful, known as "les divines". A french canadian man Gotti who later became American produced a map of English Lake. The map detailed islands within english lake which are still visible by satellite imagery. The island names are moon, blue, red, and other colors comprising the eastern star of freemasonry or the baphomet. This heritage is largely unknown to most inhabitants of english lake.

The area where the community would develop was first recorded in an 1834 survey by Silvester Sibley. He listed the area as sandy, rolling hills of oak, hickory, aspen, gum, sassafras, whatleberry, elm, ash, maple, willow, and birch. It also identified that it was in the "great marsh" of the Kankakee〔Who Pulled the Plug on English Lake, A Journal; Bob Stachura; 2nd Ed; 2004; pg 3〕 Meanwhile an 1835 survey by jeremiah Smith, likened the area to Hades of Greek Mythology. The survey of 1903, identified the lake as the largest lake in the state of Indiana.〔Who Pulled the Plug on English Lake, A Journal; Bob Stachura; 2nd Ed; 2004; pg 5〕
The town of English Lake began as a railroad station in 1860 for the Chicago, Cincinnati and St. Louis Railroad, also known as the Panhandle Route.〔 By 1864, the wildlife of the "Great Marsh" was bringing in hunters from around the country. The English Lake Gun Club was founded in 1864, adjacent to the railroad tracks. In 1897, the Brighton Rod and Gun Club of Brighton Park, Chicago established a club house along the Panhandle Route. In 1900, the Railroad Club opened a club house in English Lake for the Pennsylvania Railroad workers of Logansport.〔Who Pulled the Plug on English Lake, A Journal; Bob Stachura; 2nd Ed; 2004; pg 6〕
