The Monkey Island Hunting Club was incorporated in 1919 by a group of tobacco executives including George Hill, president of the American Tobacco Company and its Executive Vice-president Charles Penn. The island was also once the site of the Monkey Island Hunting Club, which remains standing today. It is named for the Pamunkey nation that once inhabited the area, and used the island for summer hunting. Contrary to its name, there are no monkeys on Monkey Island. Monkey Island is a remote, natural island located in Currituck Sound, North Carolina and is part of the Currituck National Wildlife Refuge.
