Corvo Island

Corvo Island ), literally the Island of the Crow, is the smallest and the northernmost island of the Azores archipelago and the northernmost in Macaronesia. It has a population of approximately 468 inhabitants making it the smallest single municipality in the Azores and in Portugal. The island lies on the North American Plate.

Apocryphal stories of the Carthaginian Empire exploring the islands in approximately 200 BCE notwithstanding,
the mainstream history of the Azores originates with non-official exploration during the period of the late-13th century, resulting in maps, such as the Genovese Atlas Medici from 1351, which mentions obscure islands in an undefined Atlantic archipelago. The Medici Atlas refers to an Insula Corvi Marini , in a seven-island archipelago, but it is improbable that it refers specifically to Corvo, although the island's name could have originated from this atlas. It is likely that the name referred to the two islands of Corvo and Flores, which also appeared on the later Aragonese Mapa Catalão of 1375.
