Wilson’s Cove Was Formerly Known
as Head and Horns Bay.
It is not generally known about The
Norwaiks that the true and old name
of Wilson‘s Cove, near the Norwalk
Yacht Club is5not the above appella-
tion, but Head and Horns Bay.
This name, on account of its ver»
bosity, has long since grown into vdls-
rise and for ,this reason all but'some
oftlre older residents of The Nor-
walks have forgotten its existence, and
former prevalence. The designation
of long ago was given to this lndenta~
