Wellington, Nova Scotia
Wellington located at 44°51'54"N, 63°36'59"W is a residential community of the Halifax Regional Municipality, Nova Scotia on Fletcher's Lake on Trunk 2 approximately from Halifax.
==History==
Wellington is situated on the Canadian National Railway line approximately sixteen miles (26 kilometres) north of the city of Halifax. It was formerly known as Fletcher's Bridge on Fletcher's from the Fletcher family who resided there. Two thousand acres were granted to William Shaw on September 16, 1784. Other early grantees included James Oram, John Lees and John Gay. Shortly afterwards William Fletcher, Sr. purchased land on both sides of the head of what is now Lake Fletcher from Peter McNab, Senior. His son Robert Fletcher who had been living at Fletcher’s Bridge since 1795, purchased William Fletcher’s rights but there were difficulties over the title. Robert Fletcher received a grant of 250 acres in 1812, bordering the road from Halifax to Truro, and merchants of Halifax, James and William Cochran, received 500 acres each in the same year.
The name “Wellington” was bestowed in honour of the Duke of Wellington by Lieutenant-General John Wimburn Laurie (1835-1912), who owned the large estate of “Oakfield” nearby. There had been a former settlement of Wellington in the 1820s along the Halifax – Annapolis military road of veterans who had served under the “Iron Duke” in the Peninsular Wars.
A new United Church was dedicated on October 30, 1955. In 1836 there was a schoolhouse opposite Fraser’s Inn on the Truro Road, and, in May 1936 a site was purchased for a new Junior High School. The Intercolonial Railroad was built in this section about 1856. Lumbering and farming were the basic industries; now there is some tourism to Laurie Park which was opened in 1961. Many residents are employed in the metropolitan Halifax area. The population in 1956 was 100. Originally Wellington was an area where cottages were located. Today the cottages are winterized and the residents commute to jobs in Bedford, Dartmouth, Halifax or the Halifax International Airport.
