Millenia ago, the island used to be an extension, of the teknaf peninsula, but at a later time some portion of this peninsula got subanerged sub angered and thus the southern most part of the aforementioned peninsula became an island, and was disconnected from the Bangladesh mainland. The first settlement started 250 years ago by Arabian sailors who named the island "Jazeera"
During British occupation the island was named after the then Deputy Commissioner of Chittagong Mr.Martin as St.martin. It is the only coral island of Bangladesh.
From1989 to 2004 non residential Bangladesh is and foreigners were the only people permitted on the island.
However this has changed and now residential Bangladesh are allowed.
