Some More History on The Harbour
BAXTER’S HARBOUR
This rural area is located on the south side of the Minas Channel in central Nova Scotia. It was names for Dr. William Baxter or his son, John B. Baxter, who were early settlers in the early 19th century. Possibly the harbour was frequented by fisherman in 1780 or earlier. Dr. Baxter bought land on the north mountain from David Eaton about 1803.
Jonathan Margeson was a schoolmaster here in 1834. A school-house was built in 1869. A new school was built in 1906 but it burned down and was replaced with a new building in 1939. A way office was established October 1, 1873 with John Baxter as postmaster.
Fishing and limited farming are the main occupations.
Population in 1956 was 112.
