海峽島於 1884 年 8 月被布政司宣佈為檢疫站，當時所有船隻都必須在達爾文港拋錨前進行清關。
它在 1885 年用於麻風病患者，從 1887 年開始用於天花患者。直到 1914 年 9 月，海峽島成為所有需要隔離的疾病病例的四個“急救”或小型站之一，永久結構才建成。 1930 年，在東臂開設了一個新的檢疫站，海峽島被改建為麻風病院。麻風病院在文化上具有重要意義，因為它提供了一個獨特的視角，可以看到一群被迫孤立的人，他們生活在極端的身體條件下，在某些情況下，還存在精神條件下。它展示了強制隔離病人的官方政策。在世界其他地區正在修改其強制隔離法的時候，這些廢墟證明了這一時期的隔離要求，包括隔離。海峽島礁因其多樣化的珊瑚而具有重要意義。
