History

The island was part of the original development of Port Owen. In 1999, the island was bought by a Belgium Consortium from the Owen Wiggins Trust Co. Ltd. and renamed Ile Plaisance. During 2004, the Belgium Consortium sold Ile Plaisance to a Group of Developers and it was renamed Admiral Island. ^[2]
