Description From Owner:
- Flows NE into Malpeque Bay. Possibly derived from the French, and earlier from Micmac Amasiboogwek, 'long river'.
- Noted in JHA 1831. Named by Samuel Holland 1765 Ellis River for Welbore Ellis (1713-1802), brother-in-law of Sir Hans Stanley. Also formerly known as Quagmire River, which is on Wright and Cundall 1874 and Cummins 1925.
- Bayfield 1850 Grand River; Meacham 1880 and Cummins 1925 Grand or Ellis River. Pacifique 1934 places Cartier's Fleuve des Barques here, but this is more likely Ship Channel, the entrance to Malpeque Bay.
