HALIFAX
COUNTY
Glen Haven
LOCATION:
Glen Haven is immediately adjacent to Lower Tantallon along Route
#333, also known as Peggy's Cove Road.
WHAT'S IN A NAME?
Around 1900, Gordon Hubley organized a petition to create a
separate community with a new name - and its own post office. Glen
Haven was chosen to reflect the natural beauty of the area.
HISTORY:
It was once a part of French Village and was settled around 1785
by a number of Foreign Protestants from Lunenburg County.
COMMUNITY HIGHLIGHT:
Within the community is a peninsula that stretches into the bay
called Indian Point. At the tip are two small islands: Big Indian
Island and Little Indian Island. All three are so named because of
arrowheads that have been found there in the past, suggesting that
this was once a Mi'kmaq summer camping ground.
GENEALOGY:
Names such as Boutilier, Hubley and Dauphinee can still be found
in the bay area.
