Port Medway, Nova Scotia, is the village where the Long Cove property is located.
It was early settled by United Empire Loyalists via Land Petitions/Memorials in the 1780s.
Because of its deep harbour, the town originally housed a significant wooden shipbuilding industry owned by the Wylde family. At its most prosperous, over 5,000 inhabitants lived and worked there. When the industry disappeared the population dwindled to a few hundred residents.
