Description From Owner:
  • The four communities that share this name are located around Chezzetcook Inlet, 21 km E of Dartmouth. One explanation of the name is that it may be derived from the Mi'kmaq Chesetcook, ‘flowing rapidly in many channels.'
  • Another explanation is that it may have come from the French Chez les Coques, 'home of the cockles.' In the late 1700s the place was called Sheyeticook. In 1748, 10 families were living here. Loyalists arrived about 1785.
