Description From Owner:

Flows W into Malpeque Bay, Lot 18. Named for the reason that the fishing rights on it were reserved for the Indians. On Bayfield 1850. In Micmac Lipangotitjg, “portage over a sand bar” (Pacifique 1934).
The river was named because fishing rights on it were reserved for First Nations People. St. Marys Roman Catholic Church here, built 1900-02, is the largest wooden church in the province.
The community took its name from the river and had a post office by that name from 1839-43 and 1855-1914.
