In the 1920s, Camp Lake Oaks subdivision was the location of one of the nation's early radio stations, WCLO, for "Camp Lake Oaks". Camp Lake Oaks was a subdivision built on property owned at one time by the Knickerbocker Ice Company on the northeast corner of Camp Lake south of the Soo rail line. Charles Whitmore used the radio station to advertise his "new" subdivision and offer the community music and news on the air waves. The building where the station was located is now a private residence. The station is still on the air in Janesville, Wisconsin.
