In 1872, The British Empire occupied the then uninhabited island, and they called it the Isle of Victoria, and built a town there. However, they soon realized the island was not all it seemed, as the Isle itself was collapsing. a surge of magma had caused the island to form, and when the magma subsided, it left a thick outer wall, and thin inner walls, thin enough to be incapable of handling structure. the resulting deaths from the Wright Isle collapse of 1893 was catastrophic. The Isle remained uninhabited after that, the remains of the town merely being washed out.

Then, in 1940, The Isle was retrieved and an Airfield was constructed by The US. The airfield still stands as of 2021, on the low lying coast of the lesser island section. It has been upgraded over the years, and a second airfield, along with an artificial island, was added, and in 1949, the isle was named Wright Isles after famous aviating brothers Wilbur and Orville Wright.

There has been talk of an alien event on the island; in 1997, a large, Pyramid shaped UAP floating over the low lying section of the grander island, and it was told of by multiple stargazers who were relaxing after mooring their boat. It was reported to have been floating temporarily over them, before flying off, at what would be many times the speed of sound, although they barely heard anything.
