Middleton, Nova Scotia
Middleton (2011 pop.: 1,749)〔http://www12.statcan.gc.ca/census-recensement/2011/dp-pd/prof/details/page.cfm?Lang=E&Geo1=CSD&Code1=1205016&Geo2=PR&Code2=12&Data=Count&SearchText=Middleton&SearchType=Begins&SearchPR=01&B1=All&Custom=&TABID=1〕 is a Canadian town in Annapolis County, Nova Scotia.
It is situated on the north bank of the Annapolis River. Incorporated in 1909, it is located near the centre of the Annapolis Valley, from which it gets its nickname, "The Heart of the Valley".
==History==
Where the Annapolis River and the Nictaux river meet was a popular shad fishing spot for Mi'kmaq families before the arrival of the European settlers. It would be later settled by French Acadians that used these waterways to reach the capital of Port-Royal and farming. In the late 1750s the region was settled by New England Planters, and Loyalists to replace the ousted French Acadians. The first four families to be granted land there would later comprise the town of Middleton. They included families with names like Gates and Marshall and Richardson. Col. Philip Richardson received six lots of two hundred and fifty acres each, which ran from the Annapolis River half way to the Mountain to the north, while his neighbour to the west, Anthony Marshall, got two 424-acre lots which ran all the way to the top of the mountain. A Neily family, from Ireland via Ardoise in Hants County, got the next two lots in what would be Lower Middleton, while Benjamin Chesley got the last two lots, next to the town limits.〔Mddleton Anniversary Committee. Middleton: 1909-1984. Friesen Printers & Publishing, 1984. p. 1〕
At a public meeting held December 18, 1854,〔Mddleton Anniversary Committee. Middleton: 1909-1984. Friesen Printers & Publishing, 1984. p. iii〕 Rev. James Robertson having been appointed chairman and W. A. Fowler, secretary, passed the resolution unanimously. 'Resolved, first, that the locality hitherto known as Wilmot Corner, or Fowler's Corner, be henceforth called by the name of Middleton'. This name was chosen by its citizens and selected because of its location midway between Halifax and Yarmouth.
