Sheet Harbour is a rural community on the Eastern Shore of Nova Scotia, Canada. It is part of the Halifax Regional Municipality and lies along the Marine Drive on Trunk 7 approximately 117 km (73 mi) northeast of Halifax. The community is located along the shores of Sheet Harbour, which has two arms, the Northwest Arm and the Northeast Arm. Two rivers flow into the harbour: West River into the Northwest Arm, and East River into the Northeast Arm. Grand Lake, a large lake west of Sheet Harbour, empties into the Northwest Arm via Little West River, a minor river. The majority of the land was granted in 1773 and a colony was established in 1784 by Loyalist refugees and British veterans of the American Revolution. Forestry was prominent in Sheet Harbour during its early years. The first sulphide pulp mill in the Dominion of Canada was constructed along the East River in 1885. It was closed in 1891, due to the high prices of importing sulphide. Another pulp mill was constructed beside the West River Falls in 1925, but it was destroyed by Hurricane Beth in August 1971. The economy of the community today relies on forestry, fishing and tourism. Southwest of the community is the Sheet Harbour Industrial Port, an important regional deep-water port.
