==History==
When European settlers arrived, Native Americans already lived in and around the cluster of lakes that are now called Baldwin, Rice, Reshanau, Marshan, George Watch, Centerville, Peltier, and Rondeau. The [[Dakota people]] found this to be a land of plenty, with abundant wild rice and small game. Several Native American burial grounds are in the area. White hunters and trappers began coming to the area from both Canada and the eastern states around 1850. Those who settled on the lake's west side had names like Ramsden, Speiser, and Wenzel. The east side was settled by families including the Cardinals, LaMottes, Houles and Dupres. Many of their descendants still live in the area.

Several names were suggested for the new village, most containing the word "lakes". The origin of the word "Lino" is unknown. A Lino post office operated for about 10 years in the late 1800s. The town board decided to name the new village Lino Lakes. On May 11, 1955, the Village of Lino Lakes was incorporated. It covered the original [[Centerville, Minnesota|Centerville]] Township except the Village of Centerville, and comprised 21,000 acres of land and 1,800 citizens. In 1972, the state legislature changed all Minnesota villages to cities.<ref name="Res Guide" />

The area's first unit of local government was the township of Centerville, organized on August 11, 1857, and encompassing 36 square miles. The population of just under 300 was organized into three loosely knit communities known as the "German settlement" west of the lakes, the "Swede settlement" south of the lakes, and the "French settlement" east of the lakes. In the 1950s neighboring villages started annexing land from Centerville Township. To protect the boundaries and allow for the financing of public improvements, the township residents voted to incorporate into a village.<ref name="Res Guide">"Resident's Guide", City of Lino Lakes, March 2014</ref>

On July 26, 2010, the Lino Lakes City Council voted 4–1 to establish English as Lino Lakes's official language. The resolution stated that all official documents would be prepared in English and that the city would not pay for translation of its documents into any other language. Proponents argued that expenses related to translation of governmental expenses were unnecessary. On the other hand, the resolution has been perceived as connected to the [[English-only movement]].<ref>"Lino Lakes approves English-only resolution", Minneapolis Star Tribune, July 27, 2010.[http://www.startribune.com/local/north/99283739.html]</ref> MetroNorth Chamber of Commerce president Lori Higgins said, "it makes the area appear unwelcoming."<ref>"Lino Lakes OKs English-only ordinance", Minneapolis Star Tribune, July 26, 2010 {{cite web|url=http://www.startribune.com/local/north/99223239.html |title=Archived copy |website=[[Star Tribune]] |access-date=July 27, 2010 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100729132152/http://www.startribune.com/local/north/99223239.html |archive-date=July 29, 2010}}</ref>
