  • Two snug harbours, known as Big Tub and Little Tub, serve as marine centres for the northern part of the Bruce Peninsula and occasionally accommodate Great Lakes ships sitting out a storm.
  • Capt. John Charles Earl, the township's first pioneer, settled at Big Tub in 187l. The community was first called St. Edmunds and Bury after the borough of Bury St. Edmunds in Suffolk, England.
  • William Coutts Keppel, Viscount Bury, was superintendent of Indian affairs in the province of Canada in the 1850s and arranged the purchase of the Bruce Peninsula from the Ojibwa.
