The Lac du Flambeau Band of Lake Superior Chippewa has inhabited the Lac du Flambeau area since 1745.The name Lac du Flambeau means Lake of the Torches and came from the band’s gathering practice of harvesting fish at night by torchlight. The name was introduced by the French traders and trappers who visited the area.

The Lac du Flambeau Reservation was officially established by treaties in 1837 and 1842. The area was heavily logged in the following years and became a tourist destination for families from southern Wisconsin and Illinois around the turn of the century.

To increase economic activity and self-reliance among the various Native American communities, the tribe began bingo and casino operations. Revenues go to the tribe and directly benefit the economic and social development of the community. The casino has enhanced both the economy of the Lakeland area and to provide public services to residents in Lac du Flambeau.
