What were the earliest settlements on the island affected by Hurricane Dot in 1959?
History of Hawaii The history of Hawaii describes the era of human settlements in the Hawaiian Islands. That history begins sometime between 124 and 800 CE, with some theories dating the earliest Polynesian settlements to the 10th or even 13th century. Around 1200, Tahitian explorers found and began settling the area. This began the rise of the Hawaiian civilization. It remained isolated from the rest of the world for another 500 years.
Hog Island (New York) Hog Island was the name of two islands near Long Island, New York until the 1890s. One, shown on the map at right, is the present day Barnum Island, which includes the villages of Island Park and Harbor Isle. The other was a mile-long (1600 m) barrier island that existed to the south of Rockaway Beach before being mostly destroyed by the 1893 New York hurricane and completely lost to erosion and storm damage by 1902.
