Swan's Island was first charted in 1606 by Samuel de Champlain's expedition, and at the time was used by local Indians as a seasonal hunting ground.
James Swan, a member of the Sons of Liberty and Boston Tea Party participant, purchased the island in 1786. In 1791, David Smith, an American Revolutionary War veteran, became the first settler of European extraction on the island.
The population grew slowly to more than 1,000 by 1900. Fish processing was the dominant industry into the 1930s, when it became no longer profitable in the area. The state-run ferry, which began service in 1960, helped make Swan's Island a popular summer tourism destination. The ferry also is used to carry the mail to the island.
