Halifax Counties Nova Scotia CanadaDeriving its name from George Montagu Dunk, second Earl of Halifax (1716-1771) Halifax County was established by Order in-Council on August 17, 1759. The boundaries of four other counties - Annapolis, Kings, Cumberland and Lunenburg -were specifically defined at that time, with Halifax County comprising all the part of peninsular Nova Scotia that was not within their limits. The dividing line between the Districts of Halifax and Colchester was confirmed and established on May 3, 1828. In 1835, Halifax County was divided and the Counties of Colchester and Pictou were created out of parts of what had hitherto been Halifax County. Eventually in 1880 the boundary between the Counties of Halifax and Colchester was fixed. Top: Regional: North America: Canada: Nova Scotia: Counties: Halifax See Also:
