Beaver River, Nova Scotia

Beaver River, Nova Scotia

Beaver River (population: 286) is a small Canadian rural community in Digby County, located on the southwest coast of Nova Scotia near the town of Yarmouth.

Beaver River was originally named Elsetcook which was a Mikmaq word meaning "Flowing by high banks". The first settlers, who rarely accepted outsiders to their settlement, had last names such as: Landers, Pitman, Sanders, Crosby, Patten, Cann, Goudey, Perry, Jeffrey, Tedford, Corning, Killam, Trask, Blackadar, Byrnes, Phillips, Kelley, Porter, and Sollows. Many of these names are still quite common around Yarmouth County today. (List from "Brown's History of Yarmouth County")
