About New Glasgow
The town
New Glasgow sits on the East River of Pictou, about 15 km south-east of the town of Pictou, with 9,471 people in 2021 on about 10 km², up 4.4% from 2016. Scottish settlers arrived in 1784 and named it after Glasgow, and it became a town in 1875. Wooden ships were built along the river through much of the 1800s, coal was dug in the East River valley, and in 1883 the Nova Scotia Steel Co. opened the first steelmaking plant in Canada here. It is now the shopping and service centre for Pictou County (about 43,000 people). Town water comes from Forbes Lake, a 72 ha reservoir built in 1912. Town staff handle rezoning, subdivision, and building and development permits in town. Aberdeen Hospital on East River Road is the county's full hospital, with an emergency department open around the clock.
Around it
About 6 km of trails on old rail beds follow the riverfront on both sides of town; the Samson Trail, where Canada's oldest locomotive once ran, is part of the Trans Canada Trail. Rural land beyond town limits falls under the Municipality of Pictou County, whose development officer and building officials handle land use and permits. Highway 104, the Trans-Canada, serves the town at exit 25. Melmerby Beach Provincial Park, with 2 km of sand, is 16 km north of it. The Caribou ferry terminal for Prince Edward Island is within about 30 minutes, and Halifax Stanfield International Airport within about 90 minutes by divided highway.
