以下地元の無料地図から抜粋。 An Island Sheltered by Islands.This was the name to Shelter Island by Manhanset Indians long before the first English settelers arrived in 1652.Theirs must have been a peaceful and bountiful life,since the island is protected from the worst of weather by the surrounding arms of the North and South forks of Long Island,and the surrounding waters yielded up a bounty of fish and water fowl,the woods and fields were equally stocked with deer and other game.
