Founded in 1909, midway between Miles and Paint Rock, Lowake was named for local farmers named Lowe and Schlake, upon whose land the community was built. Lowake's school was merged with that of Paint Rock in the 1950s.
Despite its small size, Lowake was well known in the 1960s as the site of a famous Lowake Steakhouse.[4] In 2017, the steakhouse moved to a new location in Rowena.
At least two steakhouses were there, one of which was the Lowake Inn, a restaurant and gathering place for locals in this small community. Travelers to Lowake not only came by road, but also by air; a nearby airstrip allowed pilots of small aircraft to come and go, within easy walking distance of the inn.
