Wikipedia description:

Campobello Island (, also US: ) is the largest and only inhabited island in Campobello Parish in Charlotte County in southwestern New Brunswick, Canada, near the border with Maine, United States. It is the site of the Roosevelt Campobello International Park, Head Harbour Lighthouse, and of Herring Cove Provincial Park. It has been an incorporated rural community since 2010 and is a member of the Southwest New Brunswick Service Commission (SNBSC). In 1770, the island was granted to Capt. William Owen, who named it in honour of Lord William Campbell, who was governor of Nova Scotia, and noting "Campo Bello" meant "Beautiful Field" in Italian.
