Best Answer

Devon Island was probably first sighted by Europeans in 1816 when Captain Robert Bylot and William Baffin explored the large bay that now bears the latter=s name. Since that time history has ebbed and flowed on these shores of rock and ice. They are uninhabited now, but there is much evidence of human habitation, albeit not continuous, dating from the Early Paleo-Eskimo stage of about 4500 years ago to the Thule Culture whale hunters who began to arrive as early as the year 1000.
