The Municipality of the County of Antigonish covers 1,456 square kilometers of land featuring coastal areas, forests, and agricultural regions in eastern Nova Scotia.
The region transformed from Sydney County to Antigonish County in 1863, with initial European settlements dating back to Lieutenant Colonel Timothy Hierlihy in 1784.
The name Antigonish originates from Mi'kmaq language, indicating a location where bears gathered to collect beech nuts by breaking tree branches.

The county combines protected natural areas such as Antigonish Landing Wildlife Area with educational institutions including St. Francis Xavier University.
