Lakeside is in Eastern Arizona. It is in Navajo County. The town is
nestled in the middle of the White Mountains among the largest stand of
Ponderosa pines in the world. Sometimes the town of Lakeside is talked
about as Pinetop-Lakeside. Actually, these are two separate places, but

town is located on State Highway 260, just southeast of Showlow. Lakeside
is 185 miles northeast of Phoenix and 140 miles southeast of Flagstaff.
Lakeside is known as a resort community. The small town has many resorts

as deer, elk, bear and many others.

History:
Mormons founded the town of Lakeside in 1880. The town was originally
named Fairview and then Woodland. In 1890, the residents dammed up Showlow
Creek and created Rainbow Lake. After that, the name was changed to
Lakeside. The name was most fitting with the development of the new lake
and in combination with the others, which surround the town.
In the early years, the town was chiefly devoted to stock raising, though
some vegetables, barley and alfalfa were grown. Soon tourists discovered
the town and it became a popular vacation spot. There is fishing, camping,
hiking and skiing. There is something for everyone.
The town of Pinetop was located so close to Lakeside that eventually the
two merged into one. Even the two town’s names combined into one called
Pinetop-Lakeside. The two towns were incorporated together in 1984.
