Local History

David Sterling and his family were squatters here when a party from Niagara County, N.Y. came here in 1829.  The village developed with the coming of the railroad in 1842.  Incorporated as a village in 1871.  Named after the lake lying just north of the village, said to have been named from the exclamation of a girl who on seeing it said:  O what a grassy lake!
