HISTORY The community of Beaver Bank dates back to 1776 when Loyalists from Boston John Henry Barnstead (1764-1861) and his mother, Mary Brown Parcel Barnstead, arrived there. After the War Of 1812 George and Robert Barrett, shopkeepers from Oxford, England . In 1816 , the Fultz family were granted a thousand Acres (4 km&2) of land. A Museum bears their name in nearby Lower Sackville. Beaver bank is often misspelled as "Beaverbank" as it was misprinted on provincial signs for much of the 80’s and 90’s. After the community rallied together in protest for many years, the province re-issued the signs with the correct spelling, but (such as this article) the incorrect was already transferred to maps and brochures and now it seems Beaver Bank is stuck with "Beaverbank" for a while longer.
