Information About

Murray Isle




Murray Isle is a smaller island in the Thousand Islands region of the St. Lawrence River in the U.S. State of New York . Murray was formerly known as '''Hemlock Island''' due to the presence of that variety of tree, but was changed in the late 19th century after the Murray Hill area of New York City .

The Murray Hill Hotel was built on the island in the late 19th century, and served tourists who came over on steam ships from Clayton, NY through the early 20th century when it closed and was ultimately torn down. Today a community house and post office sit on the former site of the hotel.
