Tupperville was originally named Clark's Ferry and later was named Bentville after a Mr. Bent who settled here in the 18th century. The village was renamed Tupperville in honour of the Tupper family, among which was Sir Charles Tupper and A.S.A. Tupper. Charles Tupper was the Premier of Nova Scotia in 1864-1867. A.S.A. Tupper lived in Tupperville in the late 1700's.

The south-eastern portion of the community was at one time settled with Acadians. They were expelled in 1755.

Tupperville was once a booming village. There was a train station, wharf and many warehouses. The community was still strong and vibrant during the post-war period of 1945-1955. However, the economic boom caused focus to switch to urban areas and Tupperville, like many small communities was engulfed in this urbanization. Many people left the country to go to the city.
