Description From Owner:
  • Middleton (Guysborough): This settlement is located near the Upper branches of the Goose Harbour River, north of Chedabucto Bay, in eastern Nova Scotia.
  • It was probably so named because it was situated about halfway on the road between Boylston on Milford Haven and Melford on the Strait of Canso.
  • In 1815, Jeremiah Conners, John McMasters, Edward Kergan and John Steward received grants of land here.
  • Kergan, a veteran of the American Revolutionary War, had the land surveyed for him in 1806, but had not yet settled on it in November, 1810, when he petitioned for a grant.
  • Three members of the Whitman family of Manchester, petitioned for land in November, 1816, and received grants here in 1817.
  • A school-house was built at 'Middletown' in 1867. A postal way office was in operation from 1855 to 1859 when it was moved to Pirate Harbour.
  • A new post office was established December 1, 1876 under Lawrence Walker. Farming and lumbering are the basic industries.
