Lagos Island ({{langx|yo|Ìsàlẹ̀ Èkó}}) is the principal and central Local Government Area (LGA) in Lagos, Nigeria. It was the capital of Lagos State until 1957.{{Cite encyclopedia |title=Lagos {{!}} City, Population, & History |encyclopedia=Encyclopædia Britannica |url=https://www.britannica.com/place/Lagos-Nigeria |access-date=2022-07-19 |language=en |archive-date=5 June 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190605155431/https://www.britannica.com/place/Lagos-Nigeria |url-status=live }} It is part of the Lagos Division.{{Cite web |title=List of Local Governments in Lagos State |url=https://nigerianfinder.com/list-of-local-governments-in-lagos-state/ |access-date=2022-06-22 |website=Nigerian Finder |date=26 October 2020 |archive-date=27 September 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210927224831/https://nigerianfinder.com/list-of-local-governments-in-lagos-state/ |url-status=live }} As of the preliminary 2006 Nigerian census, the LGA had a population of 209,437 within an area of just 8.7 km2. The LGA only covers the western half of Lagos Island; the eastern half is simply referred to as Lagos Island East LCDA.
Overview
Lying on Lagos Lagoon, a large protected harbour on the coast of Africa, the island is home to the Yoruba fishing village of Eko, which grew into the modern city of Lagos.{{Cite web |date=2018-12-29 |title=Orimedu: Small Lagos Island where fishing unites two countries |url=https://punchng.com/orimedu-small-lagos-island-where-fishing-unites-two-countries/ |access-date=2022-06-25 |website=Punch Newspapers |language=en-US |archive-date=25 June 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220625063701/https://punchng.com/orimedu-small-lagos-island-where-fishing-unites-two-countries/ |url-status=live }} The city has now spread out to cover the neighboring islands as well as the adjoining mainland.

=Tom Jones Memorial Hall And Library=
Located on Nnamdi Azikiwe Street, Idumota, formerly Victoria St, Tom Jones Memorial hall is noteworthy as the venue of the call for positive action by zikists in November 1948. The hall was built by trustees selected by Mr Thomas Jones who died in 1913. In his will, he bequeathed the land and funds for a hall and library in his memorial.{{Cite journal |date=1920 |title=Judicial Committee of the Privy Council |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=eDdHAQAAMAAJ&q=tom%2520jones%2520hall%2520library%2520lagos%25201913&pg=PA216 |journal=Western Weekly Reports |language=en |publisher=Burroughs}}
=Freedom Park=
Freedom Park is becoming a major tourist attraction and it is located on Lagos Island. The park was formerly a prison yard, back when the country was still under colonial rule and was known then as Her Majesty's Broad Street Prisons. Freedom Park was created to serve as a national memorial in remembrance of the nation's founding fathers who struggled against colonial rule and fought for the country's independence. The park was opened in 2010 to celebrate Nigeria's 50th independence celebration. The park is now a tourist attraction to both locals and foreigners and you can actually find historical statues all over the park. There is also an amphitheater which holds concerts, music shows, and drama presentations. You can also relax by the numerous ponds and fountains at the park or visit the Wole Soyinka Art Gallery to view unique art presentations.{{cite web |url=https://www.freedomparklagos.com/ |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110602021538/http://freedomparklagos.com/ |archive-date=2 June 2011 |title=Freedom Park Lagos}}
=Marina road=
The Lagos Marina is host to a number of office buildings, and other structures such as the Bookshop House which was formerly owned by CMS and the Cathedral Church of Christ. Due to the conditions of the soil, the foundations of most of the tall buildings are either piled or raft. Buildings along the marina include National House now occupied by Shell and it is the first tall office building at Marina. The former Central Bank headquarters and the Investment House, headquarters of Bank of Industry were both built-in 1960. The land on which the Investment House was built previously housed the Grand Hotel before it was demolished. New Africa House of UAC, Elder Dempster House, Nigerian Ports Authority head office and National Electric Power Authority's former headquarters are all located along the marina.{{Cite book |title=Building Lagos |last=Akinsemoyin |first=ʼKunle |date=1977 |publisher=F. & A.
