Lapeer, one of the old settlements of Douglas county, is located in the southwest corner, in the Wakarusa valley, about 8 miles northeast of Overbrook, the nearest railroad station, from which it has rural free delivery. The first settlers located there in 1855, and the following year a postoffice was established. During the summer of 1856 a store was opened and several houses were erected, but the town practically died after the traffic on the Santa Fe trail was abandoned.
