Description From Owner:
- The name derives from a cottage built by Charles P. Allen which he called Waverley after one of the novels by Sir Walter Scott (1771-1832).
- Allen built his cottage on land he bought in 1847 but there were settlers here before 1836. Alexander Taylor discovered gold in 1861 and news of it brought a wave of new settlers.
- The Waverley Gold Mining Co. was incorporated in 1865. By 1903 gold mining had ceased in this area.
- With permission from 'Nova Scotia Place Names' David E. Scott 2015
