Description From Owner:

2 mi N of Crapaud in Lot 29. School district before 1880 was Upper Westmoreland. P.O. Upper Westmoreland 1891-1914.
Westmoreland River: The river flows into Northumberland Strait at Victoria Harbour. Named for the Countess of Westmorland, the mother of Lady Fane who owned property here which she visited in 1840.
Samuel Holland had named the place Brockelbys in 1765 for Richard Brockles (1722-97), a physician. Earlier the French had called the place rivière aux Crapaux, 'Crapaud River.'
Crapaud is French for toad but Crapaud de mer is the name of a particularly ugly fish with poisonous spines found in abundance in the St. Lawrence River and its Gulf. Myoxocephalus scorpius is also called Scorpionfish or Shorthorn Sculpin.
