Description From Owner:
- This rural area is located on the East River St. Mary's about two miles south of the Pictou Guysborough County line in eastern Nova Scotia.
- The name was probably descriptive at the time it was given. In June 1800, a survey of two thousand acres of land was made for James B. Franklin.
- Thomas and Donald Fraser, natives of Scotland and residents of Pictou for twenty eight years, obtained a licence of occupation for five hundred acres of land each in 1803. In 1811 they were desirous for a grant of the same.
- In February, 1811, lots were surveyed for Andrew Fraser, John Matheson, William McKay, junior and senior, John McBain and John McKay.
- A school-house was built in 1901-1902. It burned down in April, 1947, and classes were resumed in the Denver community hall.
- A postal way office was established in 1866. Farming is the principal occupation. Population in 1956 was 55.
