Description From Owner:
- The place takes its name from Greville Bay which was named for Charles Cavendish Fulke Greville (1794-1865), clerk of council 1821–59, a political diarist and confidante of two prime ministers, Wellington and Palmerston.
- Port Greville was once an important shipbuilding centre and is home of The Age of Sail Heritage Museum.
- The place was founded around 1778 by retired officers of the British Army, and some American Loyalists.
- It was called Ratchford River but the name was changed by provincial statute in 1865 in favour of Robert Greville, 2nd Lord Brooke (1794–1866).
