Description From Owner:

The Aboriginal name was Kespooguit, 'the end of land’! Samuel de Champlain named the place in 1604 for the black rocks opposite the cape which he said at a distance resembled 'a negro's head.'
In 1671, 14 people lived here and it is shown on a 1672 map as Port de Cap Naigre.
