History

Much of Monhegan is uninhabited and free to explore on 17 miles (24 kilometers) of dirt hiking trails. A trading post was built to conduct business with the Indigenous peoples of the Americas particularly in the lucrative fur trading trade. The conclusion of the French and Indian War in 1763 brought peace to the area, and on September 4, 1839, Monhegan was incorporated as an island plantation. Among many prominent artists who have have found inspiration on the island are Edward Hopper and Rockwell Kent, both of whom painted the 150 foot (50 m) northside cliffs at Blackhead: * [http://www.ibiblio.org/wm/paint/auth/hopper/landscapes/hopper.blackhead.jpg 'Blackhead, Monhegan', 1916-1919, by Edward Hopper] * [http://clubs.plattsburgh.edu/museum/rk_1784a.jpg 'Blackhead, Monhegan', 1950, by Rockwell Kent]. But even during periods when Monhegan was abandoned, its convenient offshore harbor remained a stopover destination for ships.
