Kingsport, Nova Scotia
Kingsport, is a small seaside village located in Kings County, Nova Scotia on the shores of the Minas Basin.
==Geography==
Kingsport is located just northeast of the mouth of the Habitant River, on the west side of Minas Basin, a few miles east of Canning at the eastern end of Route 221. It is bordered by a tidal marsh to the west and sandy beaches to the south and east. Red sedimentary cliffs carved by continuous erosion rise from the beaches to the east. The dramatic 12 metre tides produce very large sand and mud flats at low tide. The village is surrounded by large expanses of fertile farmland.
An earlier name was Indian Point, later changed to Oak Point due to the number of oak trees that grew along the bank of the south side of the lower road, leading to the wharf.〔("Place Names of Nova Scotia", ''Nova Scotia Archives and Records Management'' )〕 The name was finally changed to Kingsport in the 1870s, as it became the major port in Kings County.〔''Hantsport Shipbuilding: 1849-1893'', St. Clair Patterson, Hantsport: Tug Boat Publishing, 2008, p. II〕
