The important battle of Lake Erie with the British began the eventual American victory in the war. A monument to Perry is located here. Though the military presence has long been dismissed here, their place has been taken by pleasure boating and sailing. Many come to the island to vacation year round. When the French explorer and trade, Louis Jolliet, came here, he was the first white man to be on the lake. Later in July, 1784, an unknown group of explorers named the island Pudding Bay because of the harbor's shape like a pudding bag. Some maps listed it as Puden Bay. After the War of 1812, the area gradually became inhabited on a permanent basis, the first permanent settler being Philip Vroman in 1843. It was organized as a township on 22 June 1861. A portion of the island was incorporated as a village in May, 1876. This area is currently downtown Put-in-Bay.
