Lots of places in #NovaScotia were named for their connections to mining – but #GoldRiver is NOT one of them!

However, #GoldRiver is believed to have been named after a Mr. Gould, an early settler, and it’s original name was Gould River. The name was changed to Gold River before #gold was discovered there.

The area produced 7610 ounces of #gold between 1881-1940 and today it is beautiful natural space and a bunch of homes on Lacey Mines Road.
