Description
Excerpted from the website:
- What is unclear about Fire Island is exactly how it got its name. One theory is that the name "Fire Island", named after the inlet on its western end, was misread from "Five Islands", the number of small islands then at the mouth of the inlet. Another is that fires built on the beaches by the early inhabitants gave the island its name. Native Americans signaled for supplies by lighting fires; whalers guided their ships into the inlet with fires and used fire to boil blubber into oil. Some say that pirates lit fires on the beaches to lure ships to shore to be plundered. Yet another idea is that the Native Americans named it for the fiery rash they acquired from the the poison ivy which grows in profusion.
