Guilford Lake was constructed as a canal feeder reservoir for the Sandy and Beaver Canal in 1834. It took its name from Edward H. Gill, chief engineer of the canal company.[7] When the canal era ended, local farmers breached the dam, drained the lake, and used the fertile lake bottom for farm land. In 1932, a new dam was completed and the land surrounding it was designated a state park in 1949.[8]
