Lawrence Park was planned; developed; and built by the General Electric Company in 1910; when the company decided to build their plant near Erie; Pennsylvania. However; Lawrence Park was not to be a company town; but rather a planned community in the �English garden� concept. The tree-lined streets; flowering boulevards; and delightful parks are a testimony to those visionaries. Around 1900; the elegant Grove House Hotel was built on the banks of beautiful Lake Erie; and later a lively amusement park flourished there. The Stone House; built in 1832 and rumored to be a station in the Underground Railroad; still stands at the crossroads. The early settlers of Lawrence Park laid the foundation for a caring community that today enthusiastically embraces school and community activities.
