| History of Wolfville |
Produced and presented by Sarah - a New Zealander based in Japan. |
If you want to finally fulfill your resolution to
have a laid-back, simple lifestyle, you have come to
the right place. Wolfville's large elm trees, manicured
lawns, and grand, century-old homes are welcoming to
locals and tourists alike. As part of the original
Acadia, through its historical sites and architecture,
the town still shows its heritage of French and English
settlers today.
Fitting with its quaint, historic atmosphere, visitors
often stay in a selection of bed-and-breakfasts set
up in old historic homes and wander the streets to
explore small shops and an array of restaurants. The
town is also proudly smoke-free in all of its public
places!
Located in the Annapolis Valley, off the Minas Basin,
Wolfville's population of 3,658 is surrounded by flowering
apple orchards in the spring, and, in the fall, the
October Apple Harvest Festival provides a week of fun
festivities for the whole family. The town also enjoys
a seasonal farmers' market, the Wolfville
Farmers' Market, and has easy access to the nearby
picturesque fishing villages of Halls Harbour and Blomidon, for day trips and fresh seafood!
Being the home of Acadia
University, Wolfville also has the benefits of
being a university town, with a lively social life
and new students joining the community during their
years of study. It's a sociable town, ideal for raising
children.
And since Wolfville is conveniently located 100 kilometers
(62 miles) from Halifax, you will still have access to the larger city amenities
and the international airport, when you are looking
for a faster pace for a short while.
So come for the friendly, east-coast lifestyle –
you'll be more than welcome in this quiet community!
