Wolfville NS is situated in the Annapolis Valley region of Nova Scotia overlooking the Minas Basin and the dykes built by the Acadians. It experiences some of the highest tides in the world in one of the world's smallest harbours.
Incorporated as a town since 1893, Wolfville was originally settled by the Acadians who were expelled by British forces in 1755. The area was resettled by New England planters who arrived in 1760. While the Census reports Wolfville's population to be about 3600, the town’s population doubles to over 7000 eight months of the year, with the presence of Acadia University's student population.
Wolfville is a thriving cultural and tourist destination that possess small town charm in a cosmopolitan environment. In 2002, Harrowsmith Country Life Magazine voted it "one of the best towns in which to live in Canada."
