Drummond Island is historic, as it was long the British headquarters for Indian affairs and, as such, often figures in the general history of the work. There are still remains of the old British post. The island was named in honor of Sir Peter Drummond, British commander at Isle St. Joseph in 1800. It now constitutes one of the fourteen townships of Chippewa County.
