InnishRoisan is a predominantly Gaelic village in [[Wintergen]]. The village was founded in the 1830s, following the Burgundian annexation of [[Wintergen]] by [[Burgundie|Burgundian]] fishing families who named the settlement after the Roisan River in [[Burdeboch]] from were many of them emigrated. An abundance of fish and sea life led to prosperity within the farms organized there, and by the 1890s some 1,500 people lived in InnisRoisan with a fishing fleet numbering more than seventy vessels. In 1902 a massive fish processing plant was constructed by the [[Burgundian North Levantine Trading Company]] as well as docks for the near by timber camps to ship the goos from northeastern [[Wintergen]] to the [[ | InnishRoisan is a predominantly Gaelic village in [[Wintergen]].

In the 1930s trawler fishing technology had advanced and the population had expanded to 4,200. However, unregulated trawling led to the utter annihilation of the {{wpl|Benthic zone|benthic life}}, which decimated the fishery and the seabed. As the trawlers ripped up the seabed and deposited the sands it on the shore, the easterly winds began to bring the sand further and further inland. The hurricane season in 1964 destroyed the fish processing plant and buried more than half of the village under sand dunes. InnisRoisan never fully recovered and is the first example of an ''emergency area of inhospitality''. The government of [[Burgundie]] built an apartment complex for the residents outside of the [[Wintergen]]ian capital of [[Hivernille]]. Most residents moved but some either stayed or have returned to eek out a life for themselves. There is no longer any industry and only a handful of service jobs for the 320 residents. Those who remain are supported mainly by unemployment benefits and pensions. | In the 1930s trawler fishing technology had advanced and the population had expanded to 4,200.
