Fisher Island has a long and interesting history. It was in 1916 that Carl Fisher bought Fisher Island, and quickly quadrupled the landmass with a plan to develop real estate. In a historic trade, Fisher swapped seven acres of Fisher Island for a yacht from William K. Vanderbilt in a trade dubbed “My Island for your boat.” Vanderbilt took those seven acres and began building his $1.5 million private estate, complete with lush landscaping, guest homes, tennis courts, swimming pools and other luxurious amenities. Vanderbilt died in 1941, and following his death the island was bought and sold numerous times until 1979, when it stood vacant for almost 15 years.
