Wood Islands is a Canadian rural farming and fishing community located in southeastern Queens County, Prince Edward Island on the Northumberland Strait. It takes its name from several small forested islands located several hundred metres offshore in the Northumberland Strait. The population of the community is unavailable as a result of its small size; Wood Islands falls under the larger township Lot 62, which had a population in 2011 of 470 residents, a 13% decrease from the 2006 census count of 540. While the named islands are located on maps by Jacques-Nicolas Bellin: Karte Bellin, 1744: ‘I a Bova’ and Louis Franquet: Cartes Franquet, 1751: ‘Isle a Bois’, it is Samuel Johannes Holland, who corrected surveys the islands, and their basin.
