Cumberland County, Administrative county in Nova Scotia, Canada.
Cumberland County spans over 4,271 square kilometers of land, encompassing coastal areas, forests, and agricultural territories along the Bay of Fundy.
The region received its name in 1755 from Lieutenant Colonel Robert Monckton after capturing Fort Beauséjour, honoring Prince William, Duke of Cumberland.
The Mi'kmaq people named this territory Kwesomalegek, meaning hardwood point, reflecting their deep connection to the natural resources of the area.

Cumberland County maintains extensive wild blueberry harvesting operations in the Cobequid Hills, contributing to Nova Scotia's agricultural production.
