Biographie / Histoire administrative

At the British evacuation of New York in 1783, hundreds of Loyalist refugees joined as the Port Roseway Associates with the intention of finding new homes and creating a new settlement together in Nova Scotia. The arrival of these Loyalists, with their families, servants and slaves, brought into being the community of Port Roseway, shortly renamed Shelburne. The free Blacks amongst the Loyalists formed a separate enclave known as Birchtown. Within a decade, many of the Loyalists migrated elsewhere in search of better opportunities.
