History of Endicott Lake

Named in 1890 by Harry F. Reid, U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). The valley in which it is located was named "Main" by John Muir, and the lake was called "Main Lake." The name of the valley and the lake was changed to "Endicott" by Reid when their relation to the Endicott River was established.
