Lake-Town's actual name in The Hobbit is Esgaroth, built of wood and situated entirely in the Long Lake.
Esgaroth/Lake-Town is not to be confused with the city of Dale, built between the Lake and the Lonely Mountain (Mount Erebor). Dale was destroyed by Smaug when he took over the Lonely Mountain, but was resettled after the dwarves reclaimed Erebor and Smaug was killed.
