HISTORY:
Belle Isle, formally known as Hog Island, was declared public domain in 1701 by the founder of Detroit, Antoine de la Monthe Cadillac. In 1768 Lieutenant George McDougall was granted official permission to live on the island by King George III. After living on the island for one year, McDougall purchased the island for five barrels of rum, three roles of tobacco, three pounds of vermilion, and a belt of Wampum. Even though McDougall purchased the island, the name remained Hog Island until 1845, when it was renamed Belle Isle.
The City of Detroit purchased the island in 1879 and designated it a public park. The following year, 1880, the City contracted the services of famed landscape architect Frederick Law Olmstead, designer of New York's Central Park, to develop the park, and design a plan for the island.
Seven years later, 1887, the first Belle Isle Casino was built. It was not until 1904 that the premier industrial/office building architect for this area, Albert Kahn, designs and constructs Whitcomb Conservatory and the Belle Isle Aquarium. In 1908, Kahn designed and constructed the new Belle Isle Casino, which cost $135,000.
The Belle Isle Bridge was completed in 1923 and was renamed the Douglas McArthur Bridge in 1942, in honor of the famous WWII general.
Finally, in 1992, racing hits the streets of the island at the 11th annual ITT Automotive Detroit Grand Prix. The race has taken place at the island ever since.
