Sylvan Lake's history dates back to 1818 when an expedition led by Reverend John Montieth rode into the area to see what lay between Detroit and the newly established post of Pontiac. The expedition discovered a chain of lakes. The lake, which lay closest to Pontiac, was surrounded by a fringe of tamaracks and was considered by the group to be the most beautiful. The explorers named this body of water Timber Lake, afterwards changed to Sylvan Lake.
