Welcome to Howe Island… or as the locals say, Welcome to ‘The Island’.

Howe Island is a 31 km² island located in the St. Lawrence River near Kingston, Ontario, is part of the Thousand Islands chain and measures approximately 13 km X 5 km.

Originally named Ka-ou-enesegoan by local Iroquois and later Isle Cauchois after its first French owners who took possession in 1685, it became known as Howe Island on July 16th, 1792 , supposedly named after George Augustus, Lord Howe. There is some evidence that it was once called St. John's. There is no evidence of any permanent inhabitation until 1810 by a man named William Casey. In the following four decades successive waves of settlers brought many of the island's long standing families who still live or own land there.

The population currently numbers approximately 300 residents, although this figure doubles in the summer months when recreational properties are occupied. Two, year- round ferry services connect ‘The Island’ to the mainland.
