Annapolis Valley
Annapolis Valley is an area of
Nova Scotia located between the
Bay of Fundy and central Nova Scotia,
Canada. Blessed with plenty of sunshine, it is famous for its annual
apple crop. It is home to
Acadia University in
Wolfville. Much of the area was first occupied by
Acadians until they were expelled by the British in
1755. The town of Grand Pre was and continues to be a centre of Acadian culture and was the setting of
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's
Evangeline. Since then it has most been settled by British immigrants,
United Empire Loyalists and "
Foreign Protestants".
