Port Hood, the Shire Town of Inverness County, Cape Breton, has had a long history dating back to the earliest days of human settlement in this part of Nova Scotia. The first people who spent time along this shore were the Mi'kmaq-the aboriginal people who are native to this part of Canada. 'Kek-weom-kek' ('sandbar') was the name given to this area by the Mi'kmaq and was the first of a series of names given to Port Hood. The protected harbour with its sandy low-lying beaches was a natural stopping place for many early visitors.
