Wolfe Island begins with the emergence of islands in the mouth of the St. Lawrence River at the end of the last ice age, and in particular, the limestone island that ultimately would bear the name Wolfe Island. The many centuries of First Nations' habitation gave way to the era of French exploration and fur trading, the arrival of the earliest British settlers and the United Empire Loyalists up to the current time. The development and decline of industry, the evolution of facilities, land title frustrations and the emergence of a strong sense of identity among inhabitants are featured along with a wealth of anecdotes based on colourful personalities. This extensively researched history of Wolfe Island is a treasure trove for history buffs.
