History

As in several places on Moosehead Lake, as found in the Bay, the Sugar Iceland opposite, in the Lily Bay, arrowheads, were discovered in the early 1920s, similar to Deer Iceland. As early as 1912 had sponsored an archaeological survey of about 50 seats around the lake and on the islands at 21 sites of archaeological artifacts to light. On the island there are tombs of the Kineo Band of Malicites, a Maliseet strain, which was also known as Moosehead Lake Indians. The tribe applied for its recognition in 2012.

1834 bought Aaron Capen ( 1796-1886 ), a general in the militia of Massachusetts, along with his son and Sugar Deer Iceland Iceland to cases where white pine (white pines ) can. In the late 1880s there was Capen 's Hotel on the island, which included a golf course, and a few cottages. Also on Deer Iceland was a hotel. Aaron Capens family came from Dorchester, Massachusetts.

Wanna Eagle ( † 1967), a well-known in the region Penobscot, was the daughter of Chief Henry Red Eagle, a native of Greenville Indians. He was the first Indian who earned a degree from Greenville High School. Wanna Eagle worked in horse shows, but was also a successful swimmer; she worked as a swimming instructor at the Far Rockaway High School (New York). There she worked with children with disabilities, especially polio victims, and talked to a swimming camp on Sugar Iceland. There she was also buried.

Two camps were also asked about the strong changes in the tourism industry, which left the deserted hotels, regularly visited by two families. The island is otherwise uninhabited today.
