Ketch Harbour, the community has been an important fishing spot for well over two hundred years. It is situated close to the City of Halifax at a time when most travelled by boat. A fisherman's catch could be easily transported to Halifax by water for sale in the city's markets. This convenience made it one of the earliest spots to be settled following the colonization of Halifax in 1749.
By 1752, seventy-five people lived in Ketch Harbour. Within ten years it was known as Catch Harbour and a number of families had been issued grants. Thirty years later, by 1792, several more families had arrived, many of whom have descendants still living in the area.
