About Yarmouth County
The area
Yarmouth County sits at the southwestern tip of Nova Scotia, with about 2,120 km² of land and about 24,900 people in 2021. It has three municipal units. The Town of Yarmouth (about 6,800) is the service centre. The Municipality of the District of Yarmouth (about 10,100) surrounds the town, with its offices in Hebron. The Municipality of Argyle (about 7,900) covers the east: about 1,500 km² with more than 450 km of coastline, its communities spread along fingers of land that reach into the Atlantic.
History
The county lies in Mi'kma'ki, the Mi'kmaq homeland, covered by the peace treaties of 1725. Argyle's Acadian villages are the oldest continuously settled Acadian French communities in the world, founded in the mid-1600s, and close to 60% of Argyle residents speak French. Settlers from Massachusetts founded Yarmouth in 1761. Rocky ground turned them to the sea, and by 1879 the town was the second-largest port of registry in Canada by tonnage. Fishing has carried the local economy ever since.
Services and access
Yarmouth Regional Hospital has a 24-hour emergency department and serves about 58,000 people in Shelburne, Yarmouth and Digby counties, with CT, MRI, dialysis and joint replacement surgery. The CAT ferry links Yarmouth with Bar Harbor, Maine; check Bay Ferries for its sailing season. The District of Yarmouth runs Yarmouth International Airport. The fishery still leads: herring, groundfish, scallops and above all lobster, with Argyle holding the largest share of Lobster Fishing Area 34. Argyle is also home to the province's first wind farm, 17 turbines above Lobster Bay.
Land and climate
About 46% of Nova Scotians draw their water from a private well. The province leaves construction standards and regular testing to the owner, pointing to arsenic, uranium and radon as natural contaminants to test for. For shoreline land, both rural municipalities point to the provincial coastal hazard map, which projects flooding scenarios to 2100.
Before you buy
The two rural municipalities each issue their own building permits and keep their own municipal planning strategy and land use bylaw. In the District of Yarmouth, the Development Office in Hebron handles development and subdivision, and the building inspector issues permits. In Argyle, Planning and Development handles zoning, development and subdivision, and Protective Services issues building permits. Argyle asks for Nova Scotia Environment approval of the septic system, a provincial driveway permit and a well water test before it issues a permit. A joint emergency management office serves both municipalities and the town.
