Located along the scenic LaHave River, Bridgewater, Nova Scotia is often called the “The Heart of the South Shore.” As the largest town in the region, Bridgewater serves as a commercial and cultural hub for surrounding communities, offering a unique blend of history, natural beauty, and urban convenience.

A Brief History

Founded in the early 1800s and incorporated in 1899, Bridgewater grew around the powerful LaHave River, which once powered sawmills, shipyards, and manufacturing plants. Over time, the town evolved from an industrial center into a thriving residential and commercial community, while still retaining its historic charm. Landmarks like the Old Bridge, King Street, and the DesBrisay Museum highlight Bridgewater’s rich past and local heritage.
