History

The city was founded in 1965 by combining previously unrelated communities with Al Tahoe, Bijou, Bijou Park, Stateline, Tahoe Valley, and Tallac Village. The post office was founded in 1967.

Gambling arrived at Lake in 1944, when Harvey's Wagon Wheel Saloon and Gambling Hall opened in Nevada as one of the first game venues in the area. Competition was soon emerging and so was the need for more permanent accommodation. In the 1950s, roads began to be plowed throughout the year, allowing access to permanent residences. When the 1960 Winter Olympics came to Squaw Valley, Lake Tahoe was placed firmly on the map as a ski center in the western United States.

In 2012, Lakeview Commons Park was renamed. "The Washoe tribe has been presenting the name Tahnu Leweh (pronounced Tah-New Lay-Way) which, in the native language, means' all places of the people'.This is the tribal name that El Dorado County and South Lake Tahoe want to give as a symbol of peace, prosperity and goodness.
