History

Willow Island was laid out in the 1880s. [5] It was named after a nearby island where willows were abundant. [6] Because the community had two different names (Willow and Willow Island), the Board on Geographic Names ruled in 1902 that the community's official name was "Willow Island." [7] A post office was established at Willow Island in 1874, and remained in operation until it was discontinued in 1991. [8]
