Yarmouth County, Census division in southwestern Nova Scotia, Canada
Yarmouth County extends across 2,121 square kilometers of land, containing 365 lakes, numerous rivers, and coastal areas along the Bay of Fundy.
The county gained independent status in 1836, after previously belonging to Lunenburg County, Queens County, and Shelburne County in succession.
The region combines Anglo-Scottish traditions with Acadian French influences, maintaining strong connections to maritime activities and indigenous Mi'kmaq heritage.
The county includes three distinct municipalities: the Town of Yarmouth, the Municipality of the District of Yarmouth, and the Municipality of the District of Argyle.
Yarmouth County contributed to canine history as the birthplace of the Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever breed during the 19th century.
