History

Thousand Island Park was founded in 1875 as a Methodist camp meeting association by Reverend John Ferdinand Dayan. By 1894 the summer village held nearly 600 cottages plus hotels. Three fires in 1912 destroyed about 100 homes and the Columbian Hotel. The district has been on the National Register of Historic Places since 1982.
