The island is the focal point of the novel Rockbound.[3]
In the summer of 1945 Jack L. Gray boarded with the Young family on the island and made many sketches of island life which subsequently were turned into large paintings.[citation needed]
Part of the film Deeply was filmed on East Ironbound.[citation needed]
