== History==
Like most of the Susquehanna River islands, McCormick is made up of layered flood deposits laid down over many years. Paleoindians used this island as a seasonal encampment nearly 8,000 years ago.〔(CPC to Purchase McCormick's Island | Central Pennsylvania Conservancy )〕 As floods occurred, many of the previous remains of the Indians became buried. Thus McCormick Island is layered with many different artifacts of previous societies. Stone tools have been recovered, cooking hearths, ceramics, beads, and metal objects. Possible post and pole objects have also been discovered.〔 McCormick Island now contains a large, protected Native American archaeological site.
