Whiskey Island is located at the southwestern end of the Thousand Islands at the head of Grindstone Island, along the US/Canadian border on the Saint Lawrence River. The families of Morgan, Leavitt, and Carter inhabited this section of the river each summer for over a hundred years, and still have family and cottages in the area today.

Chris Wolf was the first person to build cottages in this section of the river, and built the very first one on Whiskey Island. The original section of the house was built of 2' x 4' planks stacked on top of one another, which still serves for a structurally sound lodge. Throughout the river's history, most of the original cottages in the area have burned down and had to be rebuilt, but due to Whiskey Island's resilience, her structure remains one of the oldest cottages in the area!

Whiskey was originally owned by a Leavitt in 1875, who was married to Chris Wolf (which is why it was the first island to get a cottage!) However, legend has it that he ran off with a governess so the island was sold in 1914 to Alice Carter's Mother, 'Grandma Morgan.' Alice's son, Bunny Morgan, and his family lived at Whiskey each summer until 1961 when Bunny passed away. When Bunny passed, the island was left to his daughter, Mimi Boyer. Mimi, with her husband and family, inhabited Whiskey every summer until her passing in 1994, when it was left to her daughter Jenny. Jenny then sold it to the Randazzo Family who still own it today.

Whiskey Island was originally named Coral Island back in 1870, due to the maze of shoals that surround her. Because of the mass of shoals and its strategic location on US/Canadian border, Whiskey was the main 'drop and run' point for rumrunners during Prohibition. The shoals and rocks surrounding the Island made it easy for the rumrunners to hide and later recover the smuggled liquor. This section of the river was a tricky spot to navigate through, so it was hard for law enforcement to chase the rumrunners. (It also helped that the rumrunners were the best navigators on the river and they could get a boat through this cut faster than anyone!) As a code to other rumrunners, 'Whiskey Island' was adapted to let them know where goods could be stored and recovered if the law was getting in the way.

Although it is unknown exactly when her name was officially changed to Whiskey Island, we know it happened some years after Prohibition. As many people have a great fascination with the Prohibition era, you can still often find divers exploring the shoals surrounding Whiskey, trying to dig up her past and discover what she protected for so many thirsty souls.

Whiskey Island Still And Eatery

WHISKEY ISLAND is a triangular piece of land 1 mi. long and one-third mi. at its widest. On the near west side of Cleveland, the peninsula is bounded by Lake Erie to the north, (approx.) W. 54th St. on the west, and the CUYAHOGA RIVER to the south and east. The first piece of solid land amid the swamps lining the river, it was located nearly one-quarter mi. down the Cuyahoga when MOSES CLEAVELAND visited the area in 1796. LORENZO CARTER built his family farm on Whiskey Island (so named when a distillery was built on the land in the 1830s). With the construction of the Ohio Canal in 1825 and the rechanneling of the Cuyahoga River in 1827, the area was settled, largely by Irish immigrants. In 1831 the Buffalo Co. and the New Harbor Co., representing investors from Buffalo and Brooklyn, purchased the Carter farm and divided the 80 acres into small allotments with 22 streets. Docks were built, and some manufacturing plants were constructed, including the Lake Erie Iron Works, makers of steamboat shafts and railroad axles. Thirteen saloons were located in the area. Cleveland's second hospital, the 'pest house,' was built on Whiskey Island following the CHOLERA EPIDEMIC OF 1832. The Cleveland & Toledo Railroad (later the New York Central), chartered in 1853, ran its northern division through Whiskey Island, stopping at the river to ferry its passengers across the Cuyahoga because the city refused permission for the railroad to connect to the eastbound line. The Irish moved from Whiskey Island when better employment and housing opportunities became available. Except for a Depression-era 'Hooverville,' Whiskey Island in the 20th century was left largely to the railroads, a salt mine (see AKZO NOBEL SALT, INC.), and the last HULETT ORE UNLOADERS on the Great Lakes (see GEO. H. HULETT). By the 1990s developers were laying plans to revitalize part of the peninsula as a marina and entertainment complex.
