First Nations people named the pool, "Becaguimec" which means “river of salmon”. During their pioneer years, the first European settlers of the area, the Loyalists, depended on the salmon harvest from this pool for food. The location of the pool within the town boundaries is unique. In its heyday, local citizens of the town were known to take their lunch hours to fly fish in the famous pool.
