Why live in Kentville?

Kentville is a warm, community-oriented town that attracts families from all across Nova Scotia. One reason that people love living here is the many local events that Kentville hosts.

Kentville also hosts the Pumpkin People Festival in the fall, as well as Devil's Half Acre Motorcycle Rally, Open Street Chalk Art Festival, Kentville Multicultural Festival (the largest of its kind in Nova Scotia), Kentville Harvest Festival, and KBC's Great Big Country Fair.

Something wonderful about Kentville

Kentville has a colourful history that involves Indigenous peoples, Acadians, and the British. The area was first inhabited by the Mi'kmaq people, who originally referred to the region as “​​Penooek.” By the eighteenth century, the Acadians arrived. They were the ones to first settle the area, building several dykes along the river to push the Bay of Fundy tides back. However, by 1755, the Acadians had been expelled from the area by the British, which is when English settlement began. Although it was originally renamed Horton’s Corner, the town came to be called Kentville in 1826. It was named after Prince Edward Augustus, Duke of Kent, who was the son of King George III and father of Queen Victoria. Prince Edward Augustus lived in Nova Scotia for six years, from 1794 until 1800. What started out as a very small village eventually grew after the development of the Windsor and Annapolis Railway in the mid-nineteenth century. The railway demanded a large number of workers, which led to rapid population growth. Cornwallis Inn, a large inn erected near the railway, was built in the early twentieth century, making Kentville a popular tourist destination throughout the first half of the century.
