Description From Owner:

In Micmac the name for heron was Tesunegek and it first appeared on a 1686 map as le Techniguet.
Later maps called it Tisniguet, Techeniquet, Tcsheniket, Herene, Flat Isle and Isle Platte.
In 1845 the island was given its present name by Henry Wolsey Bayfield (1795-1885), Admiralty Surveyor of the Great Lakes, who also surveyed the coastlines of New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island during the 1840s and 1850s.
