About Lunenburg County
The area
Lunenburg County lies on Nova Scotia's South Shore, southwest of Halifax, and covers about 2,900 km². It had about 48,600 people in 2021. Most of the county sits in two rural municipalities: the Municipality of the District of Lunenburg (about 25,500 people) and the Municipality of the District of Chester (about 10,700). The towns are Bridgewater (about 8,800), Lunenburg (about 2,400) and Mahone Bay (about 1,100). The coast has many bays, islands and beaches; inland communities include New Ross and Sherwood.
History
The county is Mi'kmaw land; the Municipality of Chester describes its area as part of Kespukwitk, the ancestral lands of the Mi'kmaq, and the Gold River reserve of the Wasoqopa'q (Acadia) First Nation is in the county. The town of Lunenburg was laid out in June 1753 on a British grid plan for 1,453 mostly German-speaking Protestant settlers from German states, Switzerland and Montbéliard, and it grew on the Atlantic fishery and shipbuilding. Its old town has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1995. Chester was settled in 1759.
Services and access
South Shore Regional Hospital in Bridgewater has a 24-hour emergency department and is a designated district trauma centre. Fishermen's Memorial Hospital in Lunenburg has an emergency department open 7:30 a.m. to 9 p.m. Highway 103 is the main road, linking Halifax with Bridgewater through Hubbards and Chester; the province plans to twin the two-lane stretch from Hubbards to Chester. Halifax Stanfield International Airport has the nearest scheduled flights. Fishing, forestry, farming (including balsam fir Christmas trees) and tourism are the main rural industries.
Land and climate
Outside town water and sewer systems, a lot needs its own well and septic system; a septic system may need a permit from Nova Scotia Environment. About 46% of Nova Scotians drink well water, and the province asks owners to test it regularly, since arsenic, uranium and radon occur naturally in some groundwater. For waterfront land, the province's Coastal Hazard Map lets you look up a civic address or PID and see projected flooding from sea-level rise and storm surge today, in 2050 and in 2100.
Before you buy
Outside the three towns, building permits and land use rules come from the Municipality of the District of Lunenburg or the Municipality of the District of Chester. The District of Lunenburg requires a building permit for almost any construction. Several areas, such as Blockhouse, Oakland and Riverport, have their own secondary planning strategy and land use bylaw; council approved a new district-wide strategy and bylaw on July 29, 2026, and sent them to the province for review. Chester has a planning strategy and land use bylaw, and it requires a building permit in every zone. Inside Bridgewater, Lunenburg or Mahone Bay, ask the town.
