Brooklyn, Nova Scotia
Brooklyn is a suburban community in the Region of Queens
Municipality in Queens County.
Located on the east bank of the Mersey River opposite
Liverpool,
Brooklyn was placed on the map in 1907 when the Halifax and
Southwestern Railway opened between Yarmouth
and Halifax.
In 1929, Bowater Mersey Paper Company Limited opened a large pulp
and paper plant in Brooklyn to produce newsprint; it remains the
area's largest employer.
CN Rail abandoned rail service during the early 1980's and today
Brooklyn is also famous for one of its previous residents since the
completion of the restored heritage railway station in neighbouring
Liverpool,
which houses the Hank Snow Country Music Centre and the co-located
Nova Scotia Country Music Hall of Fame in honour of native-son Hank
Snow.
