Borgeson Lake named 1924/25 by R.D. McCaw, BCLS, after Ole Borgeson, a settler at the north end of the lake. According to Government Agent, Princeton, and Princeton Mayor Gloria Stout, this lake has always been known as "Round Lake" - likely surveyor McCaw felt the need to create a more unique name. Still known as "Round Lake"; no local usage of "Borgeson" according to Princeton Municipal Council, February 1988.
