The county history of 1861 has no passage naming this settlement, which was common for the smaller places. Its township is covered in full.

Museums hold 270 specimens collected within 10 miles of Garden Isle between 1888 and 1975: 260 Animalia, 7 Plantae, 2 Fungi, 1 Protozoa. 12 distinct Species records are shown. Collected by BJ Zahuranec & party, Bosler, Collector(s): Del Fortner and others. Each is a physical object with a catalogue number, and each entry opens the museum's record. This is what was collected and kept, not a survey of what lives here - nothing can be concluded from a species being absent.
