      • The island's Finnish name is Mistulansaari, its old Russian one Mishin Island.
      • Peter I gave the island to Shafirov in 1709, and the name stuck to Ivan Yelagin, who owned it from 1777.
      • In 1817 the island was bought for the treasury for 350,000 rubles for the Dowager Empress Maria Feodorovna.
      • The island's nine ponds cover 20 ha — a fifth of its area.
      • From 1700 to 1878 the island was flooded 134 times.
      • The Central Park of Culture and Rest opened in 1932, and was given Kirov's name in 1934.
