Fire Island History

Fire Island is a barrier island located off the southern coast of Long Island, New York. The island has a rich and varied history, beginning with the indigenous Algonquin tribes who originally inhabited the area.

During the 17th century, European settlers began to establish themselves on Fire Island, primarily for the purposes of fishing and whaling. In the 19th century, the island became a popular destination for wealthy New Yorkers, who built summer homes and established communities such as Ocean Beach, Saltaire, and Davis Park.
