History

This article is a stub. Anything you can add to it is appreciated.

Chezzetcook, comprising Head of Chezzetcook, West Chezzetcook, East and Lower East Chezzetcook, is located on the coast of Nova Scotia, in Halifax County^[1]. The first French settlers were mentioned there as early as 1699, and by 1714, Claude Petitpas, ancestor of the Petitpas families of Chezzetcook, was living in the area^[2].

The area was abandoned, but in 1764, the first permanent Acadian settlers arrived, following the end of the Seven Years War.
