Fillmore Island is an island in Southeast Alaska, United States. The island lies between Fillmore Inlet and Pearse Canal.[1] The island was charted by George Vancouver in 1793, who sailed around it and proved its insular nature.[2] It was named in 1885 by the U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey after Ensign John Hudson Fillmore, USN.[1]
