Description From Owner:
  • Irishman Joseph Neily settled near here in 1768. The place was first called Farmington. It was later named to honour Montagu Wilmot, who was Lt.-Gov. from 1763 to his death in 1766.
  • Although Wilmot died in office, the Assembly refused to pay for his state funeral, which cost £245.
  • With permission from 'Nova Scotia Place Names' David E. Scott 2015
