The community was settled in 1783 by Loyalist Lieutenant Colonel Gabiel DeVeber, who was a member of the Prince of Wales American Regiment (PoWAR). The PoWAR fought in the American Revolutionary War. The community was a farming and lumbering community in the 19th century. The Shore Line Railway ran through the community, which has since been abandoned.
