Island's History on Maps
The island first appeared on a survey map in 1850. This map was made by a person named Cadwalader Ringgold. On his map, it was called "Simmons Island." A few years later, in 1854, another map was made by Henry Lange. On his map, the island was spelled a little differently, as "Simons Island." These old maps help us track how places were known in the past.
