The island was under the rule of the chieftainship Tacatacuru. In 1683, French pirates attacked Cumberland Island, producing the looting and burning of many buildings. Many indigenous and Spanish missionaries fled the island.


An attack in 1684 by the Spanish pirate Thomas Jingle led to the final abandonment of the island. In the late seventeenth century the organization was Mocama disintegrated due to wars and infectious diseases. Most of the Mocamas had converted to Christianity before leaving the island.

With the Great Depression remained empty mansion and Carnegie stopped frequenting the island. The mansion was burned by a poacher, Carnegie nowadays is owners of 90% of the island. Currently, Cumberland is a nature reserve. The island is famous for its wild horses, are also sharks in it its shores, white-tailed deer, squirrels, raccoons, nine-banded armadillos, wild boar and American crocodiles. The island is only accessible by boat.
