		Campobello Island is a Canadian island located in the Bay of Fundy near the entrances to Passamaquoddy Bay and Cobscook Bay.
		Campobello has always relied heavily on fishing as the mainstay of the island economy, however the Passamaquoddy Bay region's potential for tourism was discovered during the 1880s at about the same time as The Algonquin resort was built at nearby St.

		The island was purchased in 1879 by a group of New York and Boston entrepreneurs and was promoted as a summer resort for wealthy Americans.

	Introduction
		Campobello was visited for thousands of years by Indians who left only huge piles of clam shells as evidence of their stays.
		Under their rule, "the island was a feudal fief of a dynasty of Welsh seamen that gave the Royal Navy two admirals, one of whom was born on Campobello and the other of whom lies buried there." Another was once the tutor of the English prime minister William Pitt.
		Because of his love of the island and its role in shaping his future, and thus the future of the United States, a tribute to his memory was developed on the island: the world's first international park.
