Port Maitland, Nova Scotia

Port Maitland (population: 503) is a small community in Yarmouth County, Nova Scotia, Canada.

The community was originally named Green Cove before being renamed in honor of Sir Peregrine Maitland in 1869.

[1] Port Maitland was heavily influenced by the Henry Alline's new light Baptist movement of the late 18th century.

Both Port Maitland and Beaver River tend to be Baptist in confession and English in ethnic origin.

These cemeteries are the resting place of many of the community's founding families, many of whom are descendants of the earliest settlers in Canada and the USA.
