2 Apostle island when founded
Apostle island was founded in 1947 by Paul Zimet. It is assumed that Indians were the first to claim the island. There is some evidence that they were seen and possibly visited sometime in the fourteenth century by Indians who were making their way to Isle Royale near the north shore of the land in search of copper. Not long after, the islands were visited by Etienne , a French explorer who, like many French Canadians, was trying to discover a new way to the East Indies. Historians believe that the Jesuits named the islands the Apostle Islands according to their practice of giving holy names to new places. It is said that fur traders were the first explorers to settle in the area, building a village from the money they brought in.
