The shores of Aleza Lake hold a rich and evocative history dating back to 1912, when the area first began to develop as a small town established by farmers and trappers. The community soon constructed essential amenities including a post office, a modest store, a school, and a church. As the settlement expanded, additional services such as a hotel, a butchery, and facilities for flour and feed storage became part of the growing town.
Aleza Lake's residents enjoyed various recreational and social activities. Facilities such as a poolroom and sports amenities—including a covered hockey and skating rink—were built to support community events and gatherings. During the 1930s, the town continued to flourish with the opening of a small restaurant, a community hall, and improved lakeshore infrastructure, which included a wharf equipped with changing rooms, a diving tower, and a children's pool. Social events such as balls and carnivals attracted visitors from Prince George, who travelled to Aleza Lake by rail.
Despite its vibrant history, most of the original town structures have not survived to the present day. Much of Aleza Lake has been destroyed by fire and is now overgrown with brambles, leaving only a few remnants of its past.
