Lauderdale Lakes is a census-designated place in the town of La Grange, Walworth County, Wisconsin, United States. Its population was 1,283 as of the 2020 census.[1]

History

The lakes were named after James Lauderdale.[3] James moved to the area in 1841 along with his family.[3] The New York native built the first residential building in 1842.[3] James, his brother-in-law, and his cousin each purchased 160 acres of the Homestead Act price of $1.25 an acre.[3] James and his family went back to New York and shortly returned in September 1842.[3] James built a log cabin along the shore. James' wife didn't like living next to the water so they built a larger house next to the road in 1855.[3] Eight years later, Chicago native John Wheeler bought the shoreline property and started building the Sterlingworth Hotel in 1893.[3]
