Guilford Lake was constructed as a canal feeder reservoir for the Sandy and Beaver Canal in 1834. It took its name from Edward H. Gill, chief engineer of the canal company. When the canal era ended, local farmers breached the dam, drained the lake, and used the fertile lake bottom for farm land. In 1932, a new dam was completed and the land surrounding it was designated a state park in 1949. The community was first listed as a CDP for the 2020 census.
