European Naming Patterns On Cape Breton Island: The Early Period
Two main influences account for the Early European names given to geographical features and settlements on Cape Breton Island from the early 1500s to 1758. Much like Newfoundland, most of these names reflect “the view from the sea” (Story 1990). Explorers, mapmakers, those involved in fishing, and e...

Two main influences account for the Early European names given to geographical features and settlements on Cape Breton Island from the early 1500s to 1758. Much like Newfoundland, most of these names reflect “the view from the sea” (Story 1990). Explorers, mapmakers, those involved in fishing, and early settlers saw and named the perimeter of Cape Breton. As colonization began in earnest in 1713, the names reflected the influence of the shifting tide of political and military possession of the island.
