PAST

The city of Emily began as a township, being named after Emily Lake. In November of 1905, Emily was platted and then incorporated in 1957. Emily came into existence due to the lumber business boom in the late 1890’s. During this time, lumbermen came into the area and set up communities in the surrounding areas, adding a post office in 1900.
