It has played a considerable role in local history, with local native tribes hunting there and the English camping there during the War of 1812.{{citation needed|date=July 2014}} Herring Island formed during the 17th century with the erosion of Herring Creek's peninsula into an island. From the early 20th century until the 1970s it was a Boy Scout camp, consisting of numerous log cabins. Following a fire that destroyed the main cabin the property was purchased by a family, and has been a private residence since.
