Digby County, Administrative county in Nova Scotia, Canada.
Digby County encompasses 2,512 square kilometers of coastal territory, featuring the Digby Neck peninsula that extends into the Bay of Fundy.
The county establishment in 1837 followed the arrival of British Loyalists who settled in the area after the American Revolutionary War.
The region maintains strong French-Acadian influences through the Municipality of Clare, where local traditions and language continue to thrive.
The county connects to major transportation routes through Highway 101 and provides ferry services linking Long Island and Brier Island.
Digby County houses the Bear River First Nations reserve, which sits partly elevated on wooden stilts above the tidal river.
