abstract	The islands were first discovered by Englishman William Weston, an associate of John Cabot, on an independent voyage in 1499, though it would remain unsettled and unexplored for over a hundred years. Though it was first settled by English Puritans in 1634, New England's eight main islands remained sparsely populated until 1766, when the British military established major encampments at the settlements of Firrey on modern-day Nashville Island, and New Bristol on modern-day Allegheny Island. At the outset of the American Revolution, a series of skirmishes ensued with local American guerrillas, and following years of stalemates on both sides, the British were forced to abandon the islands altogether in July 1779 when a combined French and Spanish fleet bombarded the main British encampment at Fort George on Buell Island in support of the Revolution, allowing a small force of Continental Army troops under the command of General Robert Kelvin (for whom the capital was named) to occupy the islands on July 28. Despite its relative proximity to the East Coast, additional settlers were still sparse, due in part to occasional volcanic activity – mostly near Nashville Island – and the relatively rugged terrain. As a result, the regional population remained quite low until statehood in 1816. Today, one of the islands' major sources of revenue is tourism, certainly its largest; millions flock to its beaches every summer, and the major parks year-round.
