Eagle Bend began as a postal hamlet located directly on the Mississippi River.[3] In 1866, the river changed its course and created a natural cutoff called "Terrapin Neck". The former bend in the river soon silted up at either end, creating Eagle Lake, an oxbow lake.[4]
The population of Eagle Bend was 50 in 1900.[3] It was first named as a CDP in the 2020 Census which listed a population of 296.[5]
Eagle Bend is situated on the east shore of Eagle Lake, and is popular for fishing and water sports.[4]
