Description From Owner:

The river flows NW into Cascumpec Bay and was named in 1765 by Samuel Holland for Henry Fox (1705-1744), 1st Baron Holland of Foxley.
Fox held minor posts in the British civil service until he was elevated to the cabinet as secretary of state in 1755.
He resigned the following year to become paymaster general, a position that allowed him to accumulate a large fortune.
