History
[edit]The area of Lakeville was first settled by Euro-Americans in 1836. The railroad in 1845 spurred further growth. By the 1890s there were 13 one-room school houses in the vicinity. In 1898 they were consolidated into one two-story elementary school in Lakeville. The town of Lakeville was incorporated in 1902.[4]
The Lakeville post office has been in operation since 1850.[5]
Lakeville High School was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991.[6]

Lakeville was the site of two different multiple murders. In 1989, four members of the family of Reverend Bob Pelley were shot dead in their Lakeville home.[7] In 2000, three workmen were shot and killed in an upscale home in Lakeville.[8] The 2000 case has been featured twice on television documentaries, once in an episode of Extreme Forensics on June 7, 2010, titled "Rooted in Murder",[9] and once in an episode of Forensic Files II on March 13, 2022, titled "Dog Proof".
