The area around Como Lake was originally swamp and "oak savannas." It was inhabited seasonally by, the Dakota people, who called the lake Medawaka, which roughly translates to "Lake Mysterious." One of the earliest European settlers was Charles Perry. He farmed a 160-acre claim of land that later would become the regional park. Perry named the lake after Lake Como near his birthplace in the Swiss-Italian Alps.
