Early British settlers were more
interested in farming than in
fishing. By the early 1800s, a small
village began to grow farther
inland. Here the bay was narrow
and easily crossed - first by ferry,
later by bridge. St. Peters became a
typical rural crossroads village. It
was where you came to sell your surplus and buy supplies. Or have
your horse shod. Or see the doctor.
Or get a haircut. By the 1940s, the
village was home to a dozen
assorted shops and stores, two
community halls, two doctors and
a court house. There were even several tourist homes and a hotel - the Bayview.
Les premiers colons, britanniques
étaient plus intéressés par
l'agriculture que par la pêche. Au
début des années 1800, un petit
village commençait à s'étendre à
l'intérieur des terres. Comme la baie est étroite ici, il était facile de -
la franchir - d'abord par traversier
et, plus tard, un pont fut construit. St.Peters devint un véritable carrefour rural.
Les gens y venaient vendre leur
surplus et s'approvisionner, faire
ferrer les chevaux, consulter le médecin ou se faire couper les
cheveux. Vers 1940, on y comptait
une
dizaine de boutiques et de
magasins, deux salles commu-
baie est étroite ici, il était facile de
nautaires, deux cabinets de médecin et un palais de justice. Il y avait
même des gites touristiques et un
hôtel, le Bayview.
