Backing up this belief is the fact that the Mi’kmaq refer to Truro as Wagobagitik, which also relates to the area’s river locale. (Note that the Mi’kmaq people have called the area home for several centuries.) Wagobagitik translates to “end of the water’s flow.” Truro is situated on the south side of the Salmon River, near the mouth of the river at the eastern end of Cobequid Bay.
