In 1657 Thomas Gould, a colonist, purchased the island from the Native Americans. The island remained privately owned until the early twentieth century. Gould sold the island to Thomas Cranston. Later owners included the Carr family and Joseph Wanton, Jr., who lost the property for having Loyalist sympathies during the American Revolution. In 1778 during the American Revolution, Captain Wallace, a British naval leader, constructed "Owl's Nest," a military fort, on the island. In 1803 Caleb Gardner purchased the forfeited island. A lighthouse was built on the island in 1889 (it was demolished in 1960).
