Black Lake was so named on account of the dark character of its water.[4] The nearby community of Belmore lies east of the lake.

During the 1900,[5] 1910,[6] 1920,[7] and 1940[8] USA censuses, there was a Black Lake precinct in Thurston county. It does not appear as a place category in the 1930 USA census.
