Amirault's Hill (French: Buttes-Amirault) is a community in the Canadian province of Nova Scotia, located in Argyle Municipality.

History

This community recalls the resilience of the Acadian People, who returned in numbers to Nova Scotia following the expulsion of 1755. Nearby Pubnico was an important Acadian settlement both before and following the expulsion, for this was one area where the lands had not been confiscated by others. As the population of settlements such as Pubnico expanded, the settlers moved farther along the shore. Around 1800, Jacques Amirault, son of Jacques, of Pubnico settled in the district which bears his name.
