Port Maitland can proudly boast in having some of the finest beaches on the South West coast of Nova Scotia and a wharf to compliment the view. The history of this village goes back to 1869 when it was originally named Green Cove. At one time Port Maitland even had its own shipyard. For many years farming and fishing were thriving industries as was tourism, however times change and the village has taken on a more sedentry role. I have managed to obtain a number of hard to find images for yester years Port Maitland which you may find of interest (See above link). In addition you can find more historical information on Port Maitland from the Yarmouth County Tourist Association website here
