History

In the 1860s, Daniel B. Funk, an early settler of the surrounding Sanpete Valley, had the idea of a summer and weekend resort area. At that time, the valley was owned by a small group of Sanpitch Indians led by Chief Arapeen. Daniel B. Funk bargained with the chief and obtained a land patent from the government. He and his family then set about the arduous task of building a dam and diverting part of Sixmile Creek to fill the lake. The lake quickly became a well-known pleasure resort, now called Palisade.[2]

gollark: They don't actually specify what LM they use, weird.
gollark: Ah, not GPT-3 then but a vaguely similar thing, fascinating.
gollark: What? This is how I usually speak. Or write. Whatever.
