Description From Owner:
  • Cape d'Or: Jean Sarcel de Prévert and François Grave Dupont explored the coastline of Acadia in 1603. They brought back to Champlain mineral specimens they had found on the shores of present-day Minas Basin.
  • This and subsequent searches for minerals resulted in the name Cap des Mines.
  • The name was later changed to Cap d'Or (Gold Cape) because the copper they had found was at first thought to be gold.
  • With permission from 'Nova Scotia Place Names' David E. Scott 2015
