Quintana was named for General Adreas Quintana, the deputy minister of Mexican Foreign and Internal Affairs. He was for Austin's efforts to colonize the area in 1832. The town was platted in 1833 and was a popular resort for the local plantation owners. They built huge vacation homes, some of which are still standing today. Hurricanes were unleashed on the area many times over the years, but each time, the residents rebuilt their homes and businesses and moved forward. But,after the 1915 hurricane, few residents remained turning it into a real ghost town. The Intercoastal Canal was built in 1933 by the Corps of Engineers. It was at this time that Quintana was made into an island. Two gun mounds were built in 1941 and equipped with anti-aircraft guns by the government.
