History

Drummond Island is an island in the northern part of Lake Huron, in the United States. The island has a rich history, dating back thousands of years to the time of the Anishinaabe people.

The Anishinaabe people, also known as the Ojibwe, were the original inhabitants of the island. They lived on the island for thousands of years, fishing and hunting, and trading with other tribes.

In the late 17th century, the French arrived in the area and began trading with the Anishinaabe people. The French established a trading post on the island, which was used to trade furs with the Anishinaabe people.

In the late 18th century, the British took control of the island and established a fort, Fort St. Joseph, to protect their interests in the fur trade. The fort was later abandoned, and the island was given to the United States in the Treaty of Ghent in 1815, which ended the War of 1812.
