The history of Digby County is characterized by the arrival of Loyalists, particularly after the American Revolution, leading to the establishment of Presbyterian worship in the region. Colonel Barton, a significant figure in the area, constructed a striking red house that became a symbol of his unsympathetic demeanor, as he was known for his harsh treatment of others. The community has faced its share of tragedies, including mysterious deaths, such as that of Thomas, whose demise was linked to two men, and several drowning incidents in the Basin, notably the death of Robert M. Douglas. These events have shaped the local narrative, with church meetings and baptisms reflecting the community's resilience and commitment to faith amidst adversity. The accounts of early settlers, their struggles, and the natural beauty of the landscape contribute to the rich historical tapestry of Digby County.
