Description From Owner:
  • This settlement is located on the north side of Hazel Lake, near Cape Canso, on the eastern shore of Nova Scotia.
  • It was probably so named because of an abundance of this type of bush in the area. The name was applied prior to 1822.
  • John Bell received a four-hundred and fifty acre grant here in April, 1812. In 1822, John Whitman and Benjamin Bears, along with others, natives of Canso for six to nine years, petitioned for grants of land in this area.
  • The grants were made in February, 1824. In 1913 a new school was built here for the use of the children at the Tickle.
  • In 1844 the Commercial Cable Company built its telegraph relay station here as the north American terminus of the trans Atlantic cables.
  • This was the main industry until communication by satellite began to supersede the cables. Population in 1956 was 272.
