At its heart is the fishing village<br />that has focused the community's<br />activity since the early 1800s. The other<br />visage, Alberton proper, is a mile or so<br />away. The town is newer, more landcentred,<br />and draws its life from the good<br />broad farmlands that surround it.<br />The fishing village on Cascumpec Bay,<br />now called Northport, is by far the older<br />cf the two. In its time as a lumbering,<br />shipbuilding, shipping, and fishing community,<br />ithas seen more thanits share cf<br />tragedies. One of the most notable took<br />place when the community was still<br />young. It concerns the burning cf a store<br />belongingto the powerfulmerchant-landlord<br />John Hill.
