Henderson Lake was named after David Henderson, the developer of the McIntyre Iron Works. He died in 1845, while scouting for the diversions of the rivers above the Hudson, when a gun in his backpack accidentally fired. The incident occurred on Calamity Creek (named after the incident) and a memorial monument was placed on the site by his family in 1850, at Calamity Pond.
