As with most of the region, the peninsula was for centuries home to small fishing communities. This changed dramatically in recent decades as industrial fishing took over. In 1967 4000 acres (16 km²) of the peninsula became CFS Mill Cove, a naval communications centre operated initially by the Royal Canadian Navy and later the Canadian Forces. This facility was automated in 1995 with the majority of the base housing and buildings closed by 2001. The facility has become a television studio, it was the primary filming site for the CBC series Black Harbour; other Nova Scotian productions such as Made in Canada have been filmed there. The main industry of the region in recent years has been tourism and much of the peninsula's coast has been developed with cottages. Due to expansion of the main highway nearby, the Aspotogan peninsula has also begun to experience a good deal of growth in year-round residences. Its proximity to Halifax, coupled with the natural beauty of the area, has turned it into a quickly-growing area.
