Nova Scotia Tourism Region : Yarmouth and Acadian Shores
Description From Owner:
- An attempt at settlement was made by the French here in 1739 when the place was named Tibogue, but it was unsuccessful.
- By 1748 there were 12 French families living at Tebok. Permanent settlement started in 1766 when Capt. Ronald McKinnor (1737-1805) received a grant of 800 hectares in this area.
- He named his holding Argyle after his native county in Scotland. The Mi'kmaq knew the place a Utkubok for 'spring water, or Teceboque for 'cold water.'
