It is a former port situated on the Bay of Fundy, 11 km north of Middleton, Nova Scotia just across North Mountain (Nova Scotia). It sits on the 45th parallel north.[1] At one time Port George had a shipyard and carried on a good volume of sea trade in timber and agricultural produce with Boston and Saint John, New Brunswick. It was also a fishing port.[2] The original name given to the area by the native Mi'Kmaq was "Goolwagopskooch" meaning "Haunt of the Hooded Seal".[2] Originally settled in 1760,{{Citation needed|date=February 2018}} it is thought to have been re-settled in 1812 and named for King George III.[2] Recognizable landmarks on its shorefront are the historic pepperpot lighthouse and the steeple of the old United Baptist church. The community-owned pepperpot lighthouse, which dates to 1889, is an important navigational aid in the area. Originally it was situated on the end of one of two wharves, but when that wharf succumbed to storm damage it was moved in the early 1930s to its present position next to the road. It has a fixed red light, unique in the area, which is used for navigation by local sailors. The lighthouse was renovated in the summer of 2016 by the local community.[3][4][5][6] The Port George United Baptist church with its distinctive steeple was built in 1887.[7]{{Failed verification|date=February 2018}} It is now a private residence. Port George is a popular summer destination, with pretty cottages, a small seasonal art and gift shop[8]{{Failed verification|date=February 2018}} and a 0.5ha provincial picnic park at Cottage Cove[9] overlooking a seal colony on Dunn's Rock.[10] Nearby is the community wharf with a new concrete boat ramp. One of few along this stretch of coastline. Port George is well known for its annual country music jamboree which takes place on the last Saturday of July every year. The 34th annual jamboree in 2016 had an attendance of 2,750.[11] A weekend of bluegrass jamming and old-time music is held every May holiday weekend at the recreation centre with a variety show on Saturday evening.[12] References1. ^{{cite web|title=Port George|url=http://www4.rncan.gc.ca/search-place-names/unique/CBELG|website=Geographical Names Board of Canada|publisher=Natural Resources Canada|accessdate=30 January 2018}} 2. ^1 2 {{cite book|title=Place-Names and Places of Nova Scotia|date=1967|publisher=Public Archives of Nova Scotia|location=Halifax, NS|page=546|url=https://novascotia.ca/archives/places/page.asp?ID=546|accessdate=30 January 2018}} 3. ^{{cite web|title=Port George|url=http://www.nslps.com/dir_AboutLights/LighthouseSingle.aspx?LID=319|publisher=Nova Scotia Lighthouse Preservation Society|accessdate=3 February 2018}} 4. ^{{cite web|title=Port George Lighthouse Nova Scotia Canada {{!}} Photo, Information|url=http://www.hickerphoto.com/picture/port-george-lighthouse-nova-scotia-canada-37755.htm|website=www.hickerphoto.com|accessdate=3 February 2018}} 5. ^{{cite web|title=Port George Lighthouse|url=http://lighthousefriends.com/light.asp?ID=1329|website=LighthouseFriends|accessdate=3 February 2018|language=en-us}} 6. ^{{cite news|last1=Little|first1=Jennifer Vardy|title=‘Just something about a lighthouse’: Port George light gets facelift|url=http://www.annapoliscountyspectator.ca/news/local/just-something-about-a-lighthouse-port-george-light-gets-facelift-268/|accessdate=3 February 2018|work=Annapolis County Spectator|publisher=SaltWire Network|date=Jun 30, 2016|language=en}} 7. ^https://www.flickr.com/photos/sparechange63/2761042895/ 8. ^https://uk.pinterest.com/pin/475974254343917450/?from_navigate=true 9. ^{{cite web|title=Cottage Cove|url=https://parks.novascotia.ca/content/cottage-cove|website=Nova Scotia Provincial Parks|accessdate=4 February 2018|language=en}} 10. ^Nova Scotia's Port George (tourist information) {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101218135520/http://www.annapolis-valley-vacation.com/port-george.html |date=2010-12-18 }} 11. ^{{cite web|last1=Powell|first1=Lawrence|title=Country Jamboree draws hundreds to Port George|url=http://www.annapoliscountyspectator.ca/community/country-jamboree-draws-hundreds-to-port-george-3828/|website=Annapolis County Spectator|publisher=SaltWire Network|accessdate=4 February 2018|language=en}} 12. ^{{cite web|title=Port George Bluegrass Festival|url=https://valleyconnect.cioc.ca/record/MCA0231|publisher=Annapolis Valley Connect|accessdate=4 February 2018|language=en-CA}} Further reading
