Never did say why the name *Apolste, unless *i over looked it over the months, so*i checked out why, for myself or anyone who would like to know! Early 1800’s *Jusuits , who were drawing out maps of the area, gave the islands the name, *i guess they had a *habit to name places, with no names yet, *i would think, but you never know, the *Natives, had a name for it first! But they did give names and towns from the *bible, *Bethlaham, PA. all though three words are spelt wrong, well 4 words.
