Frank C. Miller, his brother Rufus W. Miller, and others, bought lands on Tunkhannock Creek in Tobyhanna Township, Monroe County, Pennsylvania, organized a corporation known as the Pocono Spring Water Ice Company sometime in the 1890s.

It was chartered for the purpose of "erecting a dam, for pleasure, boating, skating, fishing and the cutting, storing and selling of ice."

In 1902, visitors came from many of the surrounding metropolitan areas including New York City and Philadelphia.

In the same year, the first bathing beach was created and some lots on the north side of the lake were subdivided and sold to summer cottagers.

The Millers and others utilized the southern and eastern sides of the lake for swimming, sailing, skating, fishing.

In 1921, a boathouse and beach were constructed on the site of today's Lake Naomi Clubhouse.

Logan Steele died in the 1980s, and the club is now owned by its members and run by a board of governors.
