The history of Summit Lake predates the glaciers that carved their way across this region in the last Ice Age. This massive urban lake sits almost 400 feet above Lake Erie.

This Day In History

1900 On this day in 1900, Rioters took to the streets after a man named Louis Peck was alleged to have lured a small girl, Christina Maas, out of town and raped her. After his arrest, a mob formed outside the police building demanding Peck’s head. When the police did not give up Peck, the mob turned violent with shots being fired from both sides. 4-year-old Rhoda Davidson and 10-year-old Glen Wade were killed in the violence that ensued.
