From the time of the town's charter, this body of water was known as Franklin Pond.
In 1910, Carmi Marsh (native son, Civil War veteran, owner of the Missisquoi Flouring Mill, several dairy farms, and president of Enosburgh's B.J.Kendall Co. (manufacturer of Kendall's Spavin Cure) gave to the town the massive Civil War Monument that anchors the picturesque town green. When he died of cancer shortly thereafter, the community petitioned the Legislature to rename the lake in his honor. Understandably, they elected for "Lake Carmi" over "Lake Marsh". In 1920 the Legislature officially changed the name.
Considered a hindrance to farming when the town was first settled (some property owners found their land was under its waters), the recreational value to the town is now recognized, with a state park, numerous summer homes, and fishing access points.
