About Antigonish County
The area
Antigonish County sits on the north shore of eastern mainland Nova Scotia, between Pictou County to the west and Guysborough County to the south and east, with the Northumberland Strait and St. George's Bay along its coast. It covers about 1,456 km² and had about 20,100 people in 2021, up from 19,300 in 2016. The Town of Antigonish (about 4,660 in 2021) is its centre; the rural Municipality of the County of Antigonish (about 15,100) surrounds it, and so does Paqtnkek-Niktuek No. 23, the reserve of Paqtnkek Mi'kmaw Nation. Behind sheltered coastal inlets the land rises into rolling hills with farms, marshes and large forests.
History
The county lies in Mi'kma'ki. Paqtnkek, whose name means roughly "by the bay", was established as a community in 1820. Acadian settlers at Pomquet laid out the long, narrow lots still visible there, while Scots who arrived in large numbers from the early 1800s came for the harbour, timber and farmland and drew larger square lots. St. Francis Xavier University moved to the town in 1855, and the town's Highland Games have run for more than 150 years.
Services and access
St. Martha's Regional Hospital in Antigonish has a 24-hour emergency department, labour and delivery, CT and MRI; check Nova Scotia Health for current service changes. Highway 104, the Trans-Canada, crosses the county with exits 30 to 39 toward the Canso Causeway; Routes 4, 7 and 16 branch off it. Halifax Stanfield, under two hours away, is the main airport, with Sydney and Moncton also in reach. Forestry, fishing and farming are the main rural industries, and StFX is a large presence in town.
Land and climate
The best soils lie around the town and in the centre of the county, with more farms along the Northumberland shore. Lochaber and Gaspereaux are the largest lakes. Municipal water reaches only the edges of the town, Lower South River, St. Andrews and Saint Josephs, so most rural lots rely on wells or cisterns and septic fields. St. Martha's takes water samples for testing.
Before you buy
The Eastern District Planning Commission handles planning, development permits and building permits for the county. A development permit must come before the building permit. The county-wide land use bylaw, in effect since October 2024, bars most building within 15.24 m of any watercourse, sets a 4,700 m² minimum lot in the Lakeshore zone, and steers good farmland into an Agricultural Potential zone. The West River, Rights River and Brierly Brook are a designated flood risk area, mostly inside the town. A septic system needs Nova Scotia Environment approval backed by a qualified person's assessment, and work on stream beds or banks needs provincial approval or notice.
