History

In 1643, Englishman George Felt, who came to what was then North Yarmouth, Massachusetts Bay Colony, from Charlestown, Boston, eleven years earlier, purchased in Broad Cove from Welshman John Phillips.
Later in the 17th century, Walter Gendall's farm incorporated the western end of the cove, at Duck Cove.
