PORT HOOD. Cape Breton

The first European colonist, the French, called it Juste-au-Corps, meaning waistcoat. The
French quarried stone for the Fortress of Louisbourg and built ships at the site. After the English took over Acadia, it was renamed for naval commander Samuel Hood. Port Hood experienced an economic boom from 1880 to 1910, with coal mining, fishing and marine trade. A fire in July 1942 destroyed much of the towns business district.
