This refuge is one of four that makes up the Eastern Rivers National Wildlife Refuge Complex. The island provides important habitat for migratory birds and wintering waterfowl. The marsh, swamp and fields are also home to nesting bald eagles.

Tobacco magnate A. D Williams gave the land in his will to be used for wildlife. Previously, it was used as a farm and plantation.
