The people who came to permanently settle the island arrived in the 1770s, and were farmers.
In the late 19th century, the islanders began to become more dependent on harvesting crabs and oysters from the Chesapeake Bay.
As the waterman livelihood became more important and more lucrative, there were often conflicts among the oyster dredgers and oyster tongers in the bay, and between those living in Maryland and those living in Virginia.
