Kafralu Island was a man-made island built in 1911[1] on a sandbar alongside Cedar Point in Northeast Ohio.
Louis E. Wagner and his sons built Kafralu island over a course of twenty years by hauling in logs and fill. Wagner coined the name Kafralu by combining the name of his wife (Katherine) with the names of his sons (Frank and Louis).[2]
Wagner built cottages on the island, which were used by his family and others during the summer months for hunting, fishing, and vacations.[2]
Kafralu island was connected to Cedar Point in the 1930s[1] and was sold to the Cedar Point Company after Wagner died in 1941.[2]
