Is Toronto Island man made?

In 1858 a huge storm ripped through its eastern gap and thus created an island. Today, Toronto Island is made up of approximately 18 lesser islands and of those, only two are inhabited year round. Soon campers began to migrate over to Wards Island when the city banned camping overnight at Hanlan's Point.
