About Raspberry Island

Raspberry Island is a small islet located on the East River, in a stretch of the river that has long been associated with both industry and community life. in the Town of Trenton. Though modest in size, the island reflects the layered geography of the East River corridor, where settlement, industry, and natural features intersect.

The name “Raspberry Island” likely reflects either the natural vegetation once found there as small islands and points were often identified by their flora, fauna, or family associations. Unlike nearby Shipyard Point or McKay Point, which are tied to Trenton’s steel and power industries, Raspberry Island carries a more natural identity.
