 | | New Brunswick was a part of Nova Scotia until it was created in 1784 as a new province, to distribute the administrative burden of dealing with so many new arrivals. |
 | | Black Loyalist settlements in Nova Scotia were established in Annapolis Royal and in the areas of Cornwallis/Horton, Weymouth, Digby, Windsor, Preston, Sydney, Fort Cumberland, Parrsboro, Halifax, as well as Shelburne, Birchtown, and Port Mouton. |
 | | The people were removed by the government in June of 1784 to Chedabucto Bay, in north-eastern Nova Scotia where they created the township of Guysborough, named after their original settlement. |
