The land which is now Terry Andrae State Park is sandy, so it could not be used by early European immigrants for growing crops or grazing cattle. Frank Theodore (Terry) Andrae was the president of Milwaukee's Julius Andrae and Sons' Electric Supply Company.〔 He purchased in 1924 from a retired fisherman and later added another .〔 He built a two-story house which overlooked Lake Michigan in the present campgrounds.〔 This, their second house, was used to entertain guests.〔 Mrs. Andrae hired forestry consultants to reforest their property.〔 After Mr. Andrae died in 1927, Elsbeth Andrae donated the to the State of Wisconsin in memory of her husband Terry.〔 Terry Andrae State Park opened in 1928.
In April 1966, Kohler Company donated immediately north of Terry Andrae State Park to the state of Wisconsin.〔 It was named John Michael Kohler State Park in memory of the founder of the company.〔
