Description From Owner:
- In 1783 a military post was established here and the place was called Fort Point. It was later named Carleton in honour of Sir Guy Carleton.
- Some French families had attempted a settlement here in the mid-1600s but they abandoned the place in 1708 after privateers from Boston burned their homes. In 1784 land grants were made here to John King and Isaac Wilkins.
