Description From Owner:

7 mi N of Kensington in Lot 18. P.O. 1867-1914. Lower Darnley is an adjacent community.
The place was named in 1765 by Samuel Holland for Charles Lennox (1734-1806), Duke of Richmond and Earl of Darnley.
The Mi'kmaq called the place Kijeboogwek, 'enclosed'. That name related to Darnley Island, a sandbar at the mouth of the basin.
