HISTORY OF BRAMBER
According to Place Names and Places of Nova Scotia, published by the Public Archives of Nova Scotia, 1967, Bramber was part of a 3000 acre grant of land received by Roger Johnson on October 27, 1783.  At that time the land was known as Vil Cheverie or Chevery Bay. When the lands along the Hants Shore were granted to disbanded soldiers, the territory became known as Man O’War’s Land. Brookville
became the land from the causeway in Cheverie to the Bass Creek Bridge.
