Becker County was established by an act of the Minnesota state legislature and was approved on March 18, 1858. For 10 years after the establishment of Becker County there were no white settlers. The Chippewa (Ojibwe) Indians occupied nearly all of the county. The Sioux Indians had about one half of Cormorant Township and a small part of the corner of Lake Park Township. One of the first images of Lake Maud (unnamed at the time) was published with the creation of Lake Eunice Township in 1871-1872. Several lakes in the southwest part of this county were named for the wives or daughters of pioneer settlers, and Lake Maud was one of them.
