Harbour Island was originally known as Seddon Island, ahich was named after W. L. Seddon, chief engineer for the Seaboard Air Line railroad. In 1906, a public hearing was held plans of a new port for the city. Seddon's plans were adopted and soon his company was dredging a channel and establishing a port facility on Grassy Island. The 177-acre island was later purchased from the Seaboard Coast Line in 1979 for residential, office, and retail development purposes, however, the first phase of development did not begin until 1985.
