In 1765, Felix O’Hara was the first landowner of the O’Hara Point under the British regime.

When he arrived in Gaspé, he built a wharf, four houses, cultivated his lands, opened a store and a tavern and contributed directly to the inception of Gaspé township.

Former soldier of General Wolfe’s troops, Felix O’Hara also represents the government in Gaspé: he is appointed judge, customs collector and alternate lieutenant-governor.

The history site is named after him to remind us about how important this builder has been for the region.
