Communities

Only Wolfe Island has a recognisable concentrated settlement: the village of Marysville, with around 400 inhabitants. The rest of the population is dispersed. In the Nineteenth Century, the islands had much larger populations, and other villages such as Port Alexandria, Port Metcalf and Scotch Settlement (all on Wolfe Island) existed. These communities are now no more than names on the map
