EspañolWOLFVILLE, NOVA SCOTIA
(Redirected from Wolfville)
'Wolfville' is a small town in the rural Annapolis Valley, Kings County, Nova Scotia, Canada, located about 100 km (62 mi) northwest of the provincial capital, Halifax. As of 2001, the population was 3,658.
Wolfville is home to Acadia University, the Atlantic Theatre Festival, Landmark East School and the Acadia Cinema Co-operative, a non-profit organization that runs the local movie house.
Wolfville is a popular tourist destination, both for the scenery of the nearby Bay of Fundy and for the many cultural attractions which are offered by the university and by the town. In the past few years several Victorian houses in Wolfville have been converted to bed and breakfast establishments. Harvest Gallery on Main Street features exclusively the works of Nova Scotian artists, including Alex Colville, a renowned Wolfville resident.
Once known as 'Mud Creek' and 'Horton', Wolfville was served by the Dominion Atlantic Railway and was a seaport devoted principally to the export of apples from the orchards of the fertile Annapolis Valley. It was also a terminus of the MV ''Kipawo'' ferry, the last of a long succession of ferries that connected Wolfville, Kingsport and Parrsboro for 200 years.[1] The harbour, which empties twice a day due to the high tides of the Bay of Fundy, was once described by Robert Ripley as the smallest in the world.
In 1985, Wolfville was declared a nuclear free zone. Wolfville was declared Canada's first fair trade town on April 17, 2007.
