One of Duluth's older residential areas, it was organized as a sepearate community in the late 1880s. Lakeside was one of the eastern Duluth communities served by commuter trains of the Duluth & Iron Range Railroad until the opening of street railway service to Lester Park in the early 1890s. The 510-foot siding here is frequently used as a meeting point by North Shore Scenic Railroad trains if more than one train is in operation.
