Masstown, Nova Scotia : ウィキペディア英語版 | Masstown
Masstown (2006 population: 153) is a farming community located approximately 17 kilometres (10.6 miles) from Truro, Nova Scotia. == Historic background == Masstown has its beginnings with French settlers, known as Acadians. They first settled in this area near the Cobequid Bay in 1705. The Acadian culture consisted primarily of farming; remains of marshland dykes, that cover the entire coast of the community, indicate their advanced farming systems. Once an old Acadian settlement, Masstown was the site of the first Acadian church in Nova Scotia, and a cairn is erected at the nearby United Church to commemorate this former landmark. The subsequent Catholic Church inspired the community's name: “Mass” town.
