Nova Scotia Tourism Region : Eastern Shore
Description From Owner:
- This settlement is located about three miles east of South River Lake in eastern Nova Scotia. The name is probably of Irish origin.
- Perhaps the original meaning was Hopin' derry, when the settlers were hoping to make a sizeable settlement. Angus Mcinnes, Angus and Hugh McPherson had license of occupation for lots here in 1869.
- In 1951 further license was granted to John Sullivan and John Callahan. McPhersons and Callahans were settled here before 1870.
- A new school-house was built in the previously unorganized section of 'Obiderry' in 1889. Limited farming is the basic industry.
