The county history of 1916 has no passage naming this settlement, which was common for the smaller places. Its township is covered in full.

Museums hold 2,869 specimens collected within 10 miles of Chaska Beach between 1860 and 1975: 1,377 Animalia, 1,195 Plantae, 264 Fungi, 26 Chromista, 7 Protozoa. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by ?, A. Dowdy, A. Lewis and others. Each is a physical object with a catalogue number, and each entry opens the museum's record. This is what was collected and kept, not a survey of what lives here - nothing can be concluded from a species being absent.
