Description From Owner:

The wife of Beverly Robinson Jr., who 64 was a Philippse, was granted land here in 1783 and named the place Clairmont after a family property on the Hudson R. in New York that had been confiscated.
When the post office opened in 1885 the place was named Douglas, likely to honour Sir Howard Douglas (1776-1861) lieutenant-governor of NB from 1823-1832.
