[citation needed] Inhabited initially as an oyster company's base of operations.
Since pigs will feed from an oyster shucker's waste pile, a "watch pig" was installed rather than a dog, eliminating the daily row out to feed the animal.
The assertiveness of this pig quickly earned it the name "Governor".
By the fourth season, the pig had grown so large and onerous that it kept even the oystermen off the island.
[citation needed] One of the oldest houses on the island was built in 1880 by R.H. Brown and is still held by his family's descendants.
