In 1899, Richard McCrary, James Connor, and Hi Straight set up a moonshine still on Swan Island.

Swan Island was the site of Portland's first airport, Swan Island Municipal Airport, dedicated by Charles Lindbergh in 1927[4] and operating until the early 1940s when the island was converted to naval shipbuilding use for World War II as one of the Kaiser Shipyards.
