History

The name was originally Sinsibakwado-Minissing, which is Chippewa for at, to, or from Sugar Island.[3] The name was given to the area by the Chippewa tribe, because the Maple Trees would have sugary sap that they would collect once a year from the Island.

The island is now a popular vacation spot during the summer for boating and fishing. ^{[citation needed]}
