PORT GEORGE Map Port George is a village on the Bay of Fundy, seven miles north of Middleton, N.S., near where I grew up on a farm at Mosher's Corner. This is a partial history of a place that once was a popular sea port. The articles included on this page are written just as they were during those times. Port George is the only place along the Nova Scotia side of the Bay of Fundy where you can drive for several kilometres along the water's edge. The drive ends at Cottage Cove, where there is a small Provincial Picnic Park, the ideal spot to get away from it all, and to enjoy magnificent sunsets Some pictures from the early 1900's are included.

23. History Of The Scots In New Scotland (Nova Scotia) A brief history of the settlement of Nova Scotia by the Scots.

History of the Scots in New Scotland (Nova Scotia) Tartan of New Scotland (Nova Scotia); Click to enlarge [jpeg:10K] New England, New France and New Spain were already established on this side of the Great Atlantic Roar" when New Scotland was founded by Sir William Alexander , and King James of Scotland in the early 1600s. At that time, New Scotland consisted approximately of the Atlantic Provinces as we know them today, and the Gaspe Peninsula. Sir William Alexander with King James devised a settlement scheme of granting the title "Baronet of Nova Scotia" to any who would purchase large grants of land in New Scotland (Nova Scotia), secure and settle those lands. These Baronets of Nova Scotia received their lands in New Scotland (Nova Scotia) during the ancient ceremony of "Earth and Stone" while standing on a plot of land deemed by imaginative legalese to be part of New Scotland (Nova Scotia). William Alexander, son of Sir William Alexander, brought out settlers to Annapolis Royal, Nova Scotia, in the late 1620s and established Charles Fort there. When the colony again went back to the French, about three years after their arrival, these Scottish emigrants were required to return to Scotland. See Founding of New Scotland (Nova Scotia) More than a century later, when the French and the English had finished their "tug of war" in claiming Nova Scotia from each other, and the English finally kept it, Scottish emigrants again began to come here. They settled in all parts of Nova Scotia. When the 1871 census was taken, the Scots made up the greater percentage of the population in Colchester, Inverness, Pictou and Victoria Counties. They also settled in large numbers in each of the other counties and became one of the leading groups in developing New Scotland (Nova Scotia).

The next few paragraphs will help make you feel at home within the context of our history. Read on! Although the Indians were, without a doubt, the first people to visit this corner of l'Acadie while fishing and hunting, nothing indicates that they remained here for any length of time. To learn more about the Deportation of the Acadians, visit the web site by Marie-Claire Pitre. (in French) Already in the 1750's, during the summer months, the Jerseys ran a fishing station at "La Pointe de l'Île". In 1782, two families settled permanently in Chéticamp. Others followed and history tells us that 1785 marks the foundation of Chéticamp. "La Grant à Pierre Bois", a charter by which the Crown granted 7000 acres of land, was signed in 1790 by 14 of these brave settlers. In 1955, a monument was erected in the Platin, in memory of our ancestors, better known as, "Les Quatorze Vieux" (14 old men). This monument is a reminder of the courage of our ancestors, the "Quatorze Vieux". Home Location History Tourist Information ...

Home Village History Local Attractions Sissiboo Story Book Trail ... Village History General History The first settlers arrived in Weymouth around the mid-18th century (the 1760s) from the New England Colonies, more specifically, Massachusetts. Among these early immigrants were members of the Strickland family from Weymouth, Massachusetts, who settled along the banks of the river in 1765. It is believed that the Strickland family influenced the naming of the district to ‘Sissiboo’. Sissiboo later became Weymouth, and the section at the mouth of the river, on the east side, was changed to Weymouth North and Weymouth Point. The river retained the name Sissiboo. The founding of Weymouth in 1783 was no accident. That year, the Treaty of Paris ended The American Revolution and thousands of people loyal to the British crown left New England for Europe, England and other communities in British North America. Nova Scotia was an obvious destination and Weymouth was one of many coastal communities that saw a large influx of New England settlers immediately following the American War of Independence. The most well known Loyalist to settle in Weymouth during this post-revolutionary period was James Moody (known locally as Colonel Moody from New Jersey). The story of Moody’s involvement in the American Revolution has all the hallmarks of a Hollywood movie, including secret intelligence missions into enemy territory and daring escapes from prison at the 11th hour. Moody’s escapades were so well known to American rebels that George Washington once called him “that villain Moody”.

An unsuccessful French settlement was made in 1605 at Port-Royal (now Annapolis Royal); in 1610 the French succeeded at the same site. For the next century and a half France and England bitterly contested rights to Acadia , which included present-day Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and Prince Edward Island. In 1621, Sir William Alexander obtained a patent from James I for the colonization of Acadia. Control alternated between France and England through several wars and treaties. Evangeline.

Boston): "Continents are much alike, and a man can no more love a continent than he can love a hundred million people. But all the islands of the world are different. They are small enough to be known, they are vulnerable, and men come to feel about them as they do about women. Many men have loved the island of Cape Breton and a few may have hated her. Ericson was probably the first to see her, Cabot landed on her, and after Cabot came the French. She seemed harsh and frigid to the first new-comers, but the moment the French saw her their imaginations were touched and they called her the Royal Isle. After a while they built on her eastern rim the master fortress of Louisbourg to dominate Nova Scotia and guard the St. Lawrence (River). When the wars began, the English and the New Englanders came up to Cape Breton and for a time she was as famous as Gibraltar. Louisbourg fell, the French were driven out, the English and Americans went home and for a third of a century the island was vacant again.

Twinning with Annapolis, Maryland Royan, France Twinning The Historic Places Initiative History Timeline ... Sport and Recreation E-mail this site to a Friend Add to your Bookmarks Together with Port Royal, the Annapolis Royal region comprises the oldest continuous European settlement north of St. Augustine, Florida and was settled first by Samuel de Champlain and Pierre Dugua, Sieur de Mons in 1605. The area was subject to frequent capture by the British or its New England colonists only to be restored each time to French control by subsequent recapture or treaty stipulations. The area remained in French hands throughout most of the 17th century. Under the Treaty of Utrecht in 1713, present-day peninsula Nova Scotia was granted to the British. The treaty had transferred the French colony of Acadia, however the vague boundary definitions saw only the peninsula part of Nova Scotia granted to Britain. In 1710, the current site of Annapolis Royal was occupied by British forces after the former capital of Acadia at Port Royal was abandoned. The name honours Queen Anne (1665-1714) and is formed through a mix of the former French name Port-Royal and combining the queen's name with that of 'polis', the Greek word for city. Annapolis Royal served as the first capital of the Colony of Nova Scotia from 1710 until the founding of Halifax in 1749. Fort Anne was built by the British Army to defend the colonial capital from seaward attack. Today, much of the original earthen embankments are preserved for tours by the public, as well as some original buildings to the military facility.
