Denmark, Nova Scotia
Denmark in Nova Scotia
Denmark is an unincorporated community in the Canadian province of Nova Scotia, located in Colchester County.[1] The community is named after Denmark in Northern Europe, presumably because an early settler immigrated to the area from there.[2]
The area was a part of a land grant given to the Anglican church and may have been settled around 1820. A railway station was opened in Denmark following the completion of the Oxford-Pictou section of the Short Line Railway on July 14th, 1890. Passenger service on the railway ended on November 20th, 1960. A post office was established in Denmark sometime before 1914.[2]
The Sutherland Steam Mill Museum is located in Denmark.
