Green Island
Location of Green Island within Antigua and Barbuda.
Green Island is a small island lying off the eastern coast of Antigua. It is a private island that has been owned by the Mill Reef Club since 1947. It lies close to the mouth of Nonsuch Bay.
Colonel Richard Ayres was granted the lease of Green Island in 1673. By 1731 it was owned by Stephen Blizard, and was still owned by Blizard's heirs in 1790. The heirs of Robert Maginley owned the island in 1921. Maginley and his three brothers were immigrants to Antigua from Ireland and eventually owned 4,500 acres making them the largest landholders on Antigua. A plantation was established on Green Island, very little evidence remains of the sugar mill on Green Island.[1]
