port which adjoins Belfast, had pop
ulation of nearly 100 and estates val
ued at S1ss, $50. 1t was sparsely settled
by a farming population, and on it's
shore front near the Belfast line fur
nlshed grove where the Methodist
held an annual camp
meeting every August. This was an
event that attracted people from far
, and near. Single and double-seate
carriages, hayracks and all sorts of
vehicles were utilized as means of
transportation, and the residents along
Northport Avenue, as it is now called,
hooked forward to that period of dust
with dismay AS years rolled by the
Camp Ground became something of a
summer resort, handsome cottages
4were erected. steamers began making
/ landings, a hotel was built and of
course the town began to boom. But
not in growth of permanent popula-
ton, for to-day Northport has but a
trifie more than 500 inhabitants, while
its real estate valuation has increased

to remember is that the great estate
on the hill, will exceed by many thou
sands the value of the whole town fifty
years ago.
