Frenchman Island
Frenchman Island (also known as Frenchman's Island) is an island located in Oneida Lake in Oswego County, New York, United States. It was known historically as "Seven Mile Island" during the American Revolution and by the Onondaga people as ''Kah-wha-nah-kee''.
Though it was once home to a popular resort, the island is today uninhabited and largely undeveloped, with the exception of an active lighthouse. The island is open to the public for recreational use, however it can only be reached by boat.
==Origin of name==
Frenchman Island derives its name from a legend describing the island's first colonial inhabitants. The story varies between accounts, but generally tells of a French man and a wealthy French woman who eloped to the Americas in defiance of the woman's father. They built a home upon the island in the late 1700s where they remained for seven years, having three children during that time. Visitors were surprised to find a well-apportioned home upon the island, which was at that time deep in a largely unsettled wilderness. Eventually, the father reconciled with his daughter, and the family was allowed to return to France.
