Pembroke, Nova Scotia, is believed to have been named after early settlers John and Richard Pembroke, who were granted land in the area. Richard Pembroke and his son John were residents of Margaree, Inverness County, in the mid-19th century. During the 19th century, the region was settled by families of Scottish and Irish descent, many of whom received land grants from the Crown.
