and
lime
products
in the
world
,

.
Kelley’s
Island
,
originally
known
as
Island
Number
6
and
later
Cunningham
Island
, was
renamed
in
1840
for
brothers
Datus

Irad
Kelley
,
who
were
largely
responsible
for
cultivating
the
island's
quarrying
,
logging
and
winemaking
industries
. In
1975
,
23
acres
on the
island's
southern
shore
were
designated
a
historic
district
, the "
Kelleys
Island
South
Shore
District
" and
added
to the
National
Register
of
Historic
Places
. In
1988
, the
district
was
renamed
to the "
Kelleys
Island
Historic
District
" and
expanded
to
include
the
entire
island
.
