Description From Owner:
  • The place was first known by the Maliseet as Skumcook, believed to mean 'sand bay.' It was later named Douglas Harbour to honour Sir Howard Douglas (1776-1861), lieutenant-governor of NB from 1823-1832.
  • The Keyhole : The place is named for its narrow entrance. On a 1788 plan it is shown as East Key Hole.
  • With permission from 'New Brunswick Place Names' David E. Scott 2009
