Description From Owner:
  • This rural area is located about half way between Crow Harbour and Half Island Cove on the eastern shore of Nova Scotia. It may have been named after an early settler and was also called 'Phillip Cove.'
  • The land was part of a grant made to Nicol Bower in 1769. Ruins of several houses and stores were found by early British settlers which supposedly belonged to French inhabitants.
  • A Baptist Church stood here in the early 1870's. A schoolhouse was built in 1946 and was put into use for the 1946-47 school term. Fishing is the basic industry. Population in 1956 was 134.
