The Island is an area of high ground of over 300 acres south of the Eel River. It was once a principal stronghold of the Miami Indians under Chief Little Turtle. It was a boundary line for lands between the Pottawattomis and Miamis, an Indian torture ground, and the site of an Indian village where the Miami Indians held their summer festivals.
