By: Chris Fritch Team Keller Williams Classic Realty History of Ham Lake, Minnesota The earliest record of settlers in the area goes back to 1855 when a number of men were living in the southern portion. They were mainly hunters. https://www.chrisfritchteam.com/ In 1856 a group started a town just south and west of Ham Lake. They platted and sold lots for a town they named "Glen Carey", a Scottish name meaning "Beautiful Valley". Seven or eight homes were built. The place was widely advertised as a future city. Elegantly engraved lithographs proclaiming the names of streets and numbers of blocks were circulated in the cities, while titles to lots were offered for sale and found some purchasers. A bill to move the county seat to Glen Carey was placed in the legislative hopper but was killed by a timely opposition of a delegation of citizens from Anoka. However, in 1857 the houses were destroyed by a prairie fire. Some of the inhabitants barely escaped with their lives, saving only a very few household goods. They soon left the area as they had nowhere to live. End
