Kempt Shore is named after General Sir James Kempt, who served as Lieutenant-Governor of Nova Scotia from 1820 - 28. There had been a few Acadian families living in this area prior to the Expulsion in 1755. British settlers arrived to take over the lands in the early 19th Century. Kempt Shore Ocean View Campground is the site of the Acoustic Maritime Music Festival, held the third full weekend of July.[2]
