 The local Native Americans , called by Europeans the Chincoteague Indians , did not in fact reside on Chincoteague Island itself , but lived on the mainland , where there was suitable land for hunting and agriculture . They lived near what was at first called Chincoteague Creek , on the mainland , and is today Little Mosquito Creek . The tribe moved to a new village site every few years , and visited Chincoteague Island to obtain shellfish . Although many references state that the name " Chincoteague " is the Native American word for " Beautiful land across the water " , according to local historian Kirk Mariner , this legend is of 20th @-@ century origin , invented to promote a song by that name by an islander . The name , he states , instead derives from the tribe 's word for " large stream " or " inlet " .
