It was named Isla de San Vincente by Juan Francisco de Eliza in 1790, for one of the many names of the then Viceroy of Mexico. On June 6, 1792, the present name was charted by Capt. George Vancouver, for the many juniper trees on the island which he believed to be cypress. An alternate name is Bald Mountain Lakes.) GNIS island; 48°34ʹ27ʺN 122°42ʹ27ʺW |
