The earliest European history began when Captain William Butler purchased the island in 1838 while commanding the whaling barque Nimrod. He shipped a pre-fabricated home from England and settled there as Mangonui's first harbour master in 1840. The house was shifted in 1847 to Butler Point, a promontory opposite Mangonui township.
The island was acquired by the government and settled by way of grants to various families, including Charles and Powrewa Cossill, the first couple in the area to have a mixed marriage. A memorial to the Cossills has been restored and remains on the island today.
