Town of Lunenburg
WEBSITE
The Town of Lunenburg, in Nova Scotia, Canada, was formally established in 1753 as the first British Colonial settlement in Nova Scotia outside of Halifax. These early settlers were from various parts of Germany, Switzerland and the Montbeliard region of France. They followed in the footsteps of earlier Mikmaq and Acadian inhabitants in the area. A vibrant and stable economy was built on farming, fishing, ship building and ocean-based commerce, particularly in the West Indies trade. More than 200 years in fishing, ship-building and marine related industries has provided Lunenburg with a strong economic base.
The Town of Lunenburg is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is one of the last remaining examples of the British style of town design from the 18th century.
Lunenburg has been a supporter of the Folk Harbour Festival both through financial grants and in providing help with the physical set-up and tear-down of the facilities.
