| | The origin of the name of Slave Lake relates actually to the naming of Great Slave Lake in the Northwest Territories, where an aboriginal nation derogatorily named “Slavee” by several tribes of the invading Cree nation existed. | | | David Thompson was the first recorded white explorer to discover Lesser Slave Lake in 1799, although the lake wasn’t officially named until almost half a century later. | | | Early in the 1930’s a major flood wiped out most of this settlement and the inhabitants decided to locate about 5 km further south of the river mouth and rename the community Slave Lake, which officially became incorporated as a town in 1965. |
