History

The land was originally set apart for the Department of Marine and Fisheries to build the Corbeil Point Lighthouse by order in council on 29 May 1874.

On 23 January 1964, the Department of Transportation and Communication gave these two parcels of land to the Department of Indian Affairs, which was made into a reserve on 6 December 1966.[1]
