    The island's name echoes the historic importance of fish in the region, since Saint-Pierre, or Saint Peter, is the patron saint of fishermen. But the current fishery, which works the 12,300-square-kilometre exclusive economic zone encompassing the marine area around the islands, is a mere ghost of its former presence.

  1. History of Saint Pierre and Miquelon

    The history of Saint Pierre and Miquelon is one of early settlement by Europeans taking advantage of the rich fishing grounds near Saint-Pierre and Miquelon, and is characterized by periods of conflict between the French and British. There is evidence of prehistoric native inhabitants on the islands, but there is no record of native inhabitants at the time of European exploration. Europeans began to regularly visit from the early 16th century and their settlements are some of the oldest in the Americas. At first, Basque fishermen only visited the islands seasonally during the fishing season, but by the mid-17th century, permanent French residences existed on the islands. From the end of the 17th century, English attacks led to the island's French settlers abandoning Saint Pierre and Miquelon, and the British took possession from 1713 to 1763. France eventually reclaimed them, and French settlers returned to live peacefully for 15 years. Wikipedia
