'''Colony Island''' is an island in [[Liberty City in GTA IV Era|Liberty City]] in [[Grand Theft Auto IV]]. The island is officially part of the borough of [[Algonquin]] and is situated on the [[Humboldt River]] between [[Algonquin|Algonquin Isle]] and [[Broker]]. Unlike [[Charge Island]] to the north, Colony Island has a residential area and access to public transport, presumably due to its proximity and direct connection with Algonquin | '''Colony Island''' is an island in [[Liberty City in GTA IV Era|Liberty City]] in [[Grand Theft Auto IV]].

The [[Algonquin Bridge]] passes over the northern portion of the island, serving as an unofficial demarcation between the residential project to the south, and the cemetery at the northern end featured in [[Undertaker]] depending on player choice. A large industrial park spans almost the entire eastern perimeter of the island, and a waterfront promenade runs along the western face, offering great views of the Algonquin skyline to the west. The southern end of the island is taken up by an abandoned hospital, featured in the mission [[The Snow Storm]]. A lighthouse is also situated on the northern tip of the island, accessible through the cemetery. | The [[Algonquin Bridge]] passes over the northern portion of the island, serving as an unofficial demarcation between the residential project to the south, and the cemetery at the northern end featured in [[Undertaker]] depending on player choice.

It's name is also very similar to real-life New York City's Coney Island, and as such is likely a derivative of it. | ||
In GTA Chinatown Wars, Colony Island is modified to appear bisected by the [[Algonquin Bridge]]. As a result, only the southern half of the island is accessible from Algonquin, while the northern half containing the cemetery and lighthouse (where [[HoboTron]] takes place) is only reachable via boat. | In GTA Chinatown Wars, Colony Island is modified to appear bisected by the [[Algonquin Bridge]].
