yarmouth county, nova scotia

Yarmouth County is a county in the Canadian province of Nova Scotia. The name Yarmouth first appeared as a projected township in Nova Scotia in 1759. There is some speculation it was named after Yarmouth, Massachusetts as some of the earliest English settlers arrived from Cape Cod on 9 June 1761. It is more likely the Township was named after Lady Yarmouth, a mistress of King George II. Originally the area was part of Lunenburg County. In 1761 it became part of Queens County; in 1784 part of Shelburne County and finally became a County on its own in 1836. The description of Yarmouth County was modified in 1846. The largest town is Yarmouth which is one of three municipalities that comprise the County. The others are the District of the Municipality of Yarmouth and the District of the Municipality of Argyle. The latter was established as a separate district in 1856 from the Township of Argyle.
