Lakewood (formerly known as Lakeview), a growing community of well-kept modern homes scattered over a flat, grassy parkland, covered with scrub oak and pine. Lakeview’s Community Center, the first of its kind in the State, is housed in an adaptation of Georgian architecture in red brick. Under one roof all sorts of community services are provided: apartments, public and private dining rooms, shops, doctors’ and dentists’ offices, a Christian Science reading room, recreation hall, and a theater, all decorated in a colorful modern manner. The center serves the surrounding residential area, known as the Lakes District.

The nearby railroad station was named English by the Great Northern Railway, for English Logging Company, which shipped many logs over this line. The present name was coined by Fred Funk as the name of the settlement and of Lakewood Garden Tracts. Both names are carried on some county maps.
