Annapolis County is the westernmost county in the Annapolis Valley.

The Municipality of the County of Annapolis is the local government body responsible for all of Annapolis County except for Bear River First Nation and the Towns of Annapolis Royal and Middleton, which are self-governed.

Among the Municipality's services are recreation programs and activities and details of parks and trails in Annapolis County. They also provide information and leadership on a wide range of services and initiatives.

Communities

The Municipality of the County of Annapolis has many small communities. Two of particular note are Bridgetown and Lawrencetown:

Bridgetown

The Community of Bridgetown is known for its beautiful Victorian homes. For more than a century, Bridgetown's population has remained stable at about 1,000 residents. As a result, the community has retained much of its historic character. Bridgetown's largest employers are the schools, Mountain Lea Lodge, and the Meadows Community.

Lawrencetown

The picturesque Village of Lawrencetown is primarily a rural farming community. Its current population is about 600. The village is home to the Annapolis Valley Exhibition and Nova Scotia Community College's Centre of Geographic Sciences, which specializes in geomatics, engineering and surveying. Located halfway between the urban centres of Halifax and Yarmouth (169 kilometres / 105 miles), Lawrencetown gives its residents easy access to the commercial opportunities of larger centres while they can enjoy country life at home.

We acknowledge that we are in Mi'kma'ki, the ancestral and unceded territory of the Mi'kmaq People.  This territory is covered by the "Treaties of Peace and Friendship" which Mi'kmaq and Wolastoqiyik (Maliseet) People first signed with the British Crown in 1725.  The treaties did not deal with surrender of lands and resources but in fact recognized Mi'kmaq and Wolastoqiyik (Maliseet) title and established the rules for what was to be an ongoing relationship between nations.
