Isla Nublar is a Costa Rican island located 120 miles west of the mainland in the North Pacific Ocean. It was discretely leased in 1987 by InGen, beginning it's decades long involvement in the Jurassic Park/Jurassic World project.
History
Discovery and Early History
Isla Nublar was discovered in 1525 by Spanish navigator Diego Fernandez, though it is believed to have been named by cartographer Nicolas de Huelva. Whilst on an expedition to map the western coast of Costa Rica on the Spanish carrack La Estrella (The Star), he described seeing a "cloud island."
The Spaniards learned the existance of a local indigenous tribe to the island, known as the Bribri tribe. The natives referred to the island locally as Guá-Si (Water House, or, House beyond Water) and themselves as Tun-Si (Water Men).
Four centuries of history found many of the local inhabitants displaced back to the mainland, and in 1987 those few remaining were resettled off the island by InGen as they commenced construction on Jurassic Park.
