Welcome to Colchester County, Nova Scotia
Nestled at the head of the world famous Bay of Fundy, Colchester County is an area rich in culture, history, economic, and natural diversity. The Municipality is strategically located at the junction of Highway 102 and the Trans-Canada Highway, Nova Scotia's principal east-west traffic corridor, and remains highly accessible to virtually all urban centers in the Province. Colchester County is made up of many long-established communities including Bible Hill, Brookfield, Debert, Tatamagouche, Great Village, Five Islands, Hilden, and Valley, consisting of a population of more than 35,000 people. Together with its earliest Mi'kmaq and Acadian roots, ship building, rail, manufacturing, mining, agriculture, commerce, and education are among the many prosperous industries that have shaped our communities over the centuries. Colchester County and the neighboring towns of Stewiacke and Truro offer a full range of services and contain some of the best recreational opportunities and heritage that Nova Scotia has to offer.
We encourage you to visit Colchester County and stay awhile; enjoy our hospitality, join us as we celebrate our many festivals and events, and experience everything else this special place has to offer.
