VISITORS

Mayor's Welcome

On behalf of the citizens of the Municipality of the County of Kings, I welcome you to our County, our Valley and our Province. I invite you to explore our farmlands and orchards, our many wineries and vineyards, our hidden shore communities and Lake Lands. Please take the time to experience the beauty and ambience of each.

I believe that you will find our people to be friendly and welcoming: to live in this place expands their hearts! Our people form the backbone of our identity as a safe, prosperous, tolerant and progressive area in which to live and do business.

We are located on the southwest shore of the Bay of Fundy and encompass much of the Shoreline of the Minas Basin where one can experience the world’s highest tides. Kings County is a part of the ‘Valley Region’ which is enclosed by our North and South mountains. We were incorporated in 1879 and occupy the third largest Municipality in Nova Scotia. Together with our neighbouring towns, we number more than sixty-five thousand residents.
