From 1620 to many years, the Bedloe’s island had been in the service of the local Americans as residents. The island was a great origin of subsistence ascribed to its high crawfish inhabitants.

After many years, a West Germanic whose name is “Isaac Bedloe ” collects possession of this island. The Island was renamed as Love Island in the mid 16s because the Governor Francis LoveLace told Isacc Bedloe’s that your possession is continued if you change this island name.

After some years from being renamed this island, the LoveLace is removed from power by the West Germanic and Isaac Bedloe dies. The name changes from Love Island to Bedloe’s Island.

Mary Bedloe Smith, who is Isaac’s Wife, gives the island to the trader of New York City to keep away from insolvency.
