Alcatraz Island was originally explored as a seabird habitat in 1775 by Lieutenant Juan Manuel de Ayala. He named itĀ Isla de los AlcatracesĀ meaning Isle of the Pelicans. During the Civil War, 1861-1865, a prisoner of war camp was erected on the island. Serving as a federal prison from 1934 to 1963, Alcatraz held some of the United Statesā most notorious criminals, such as Al Capone, George āMachine Gunā Kelly and Robert Stroud, also known as the āBirdman of Alcatrazā. Upon its closure, it became and remains a popular tourist destination.
