Saint Croix Island (French: Île Sainte-Croix), long known to locals as Dochet Island (/ ˈ d u ʃ eɪ /), is a small uninhabited island in Maine near the mouth of the Saint Croix River that forms part of the Canada–United States border separating Maine from New Brunswick.
The island's indigenous Taino name is Ay Ay ("the river"). [3] Its indigenous Carib name is Cibuquiera ("the stony land"). [3] Its modern name, Saint Croix, is derived from the French Sainte-Croix, itself a translation of the Spanish name Isla de la Santa Cruz (meaning "island of the Holy Cross") given by Christopher Columbus in 1493.
