North Button Island

North Button Island, along with its smaller counterpart South Button Island, has a history intertwined with the indigenous inhabitants of the Andamans. While no permanent settlements existed on the island, it was likely used for temporary shelters and resource gathering by tribes like the Great Andamanese. Later, during British colonial rule, the islands became part of the penal settlement system, although no major developments occurred on North Button. Its recognition as a national park reflects the importance of preserving its unique biodiversity and fragile ecosystem. Today, the island remains largely uninhabited, allowing its natural beauty to flourish.
