Archaeological evidence indicates human activity in the area 9,000 years ago. A favourite camping ground of the Iroquoians before European exploration, this part of the great river highway to the interior was used by explorers, missionaries, fur traders and soldiers. Colonial military conflicts between Britain and France (Seven Years’ War), and later between Britain and the U.S. (War of 1812), were responsible for many place names, such as the Navy, Admiralty and Lake Fleet islands. Endymion, Camelot and Mermaid islands are named after gunboats; others, such as Gordon and Stovin, were named after military commanders.
