| Commentaires : | On July 2, 1942 fire swept through the business district of Port Hood. It is believed the fire began in Rory MacDougalls store. The fire coincided with the failure of several of the local mining operations. The financial problems were too much for the town of Port Hood to bear and it was forced to petition the province to rescind its town charter. On August 31, 1946 Port Hood officially reverted to the Municipality of Inverness and in doing so became the first town in Nova Scotia to give up its charter. |
