Hebbville, Nova Scotia
Hebbville is an incorporated village bordering the town of
Bridgewater in Lunenburg County, Nova Scotia, Canada. The village
borders numerous other villages as well as Fancy Lake on its
southern border.
Hebbville is named after the Hebb family, whose name is still
prominent in the area today. Until about one hundred years ago, it
was known as Hebbs Mills because of three mills owned by the Hebb
family and powered by the water flowing out of Hebb Lake (now the
Town of Bridgewater water supply) to Fancy Lake.
The small commercial base of the village is based in farming and
automobiles. Both of the major farming entities are owned by the
Hebb families (who are distantly related). "Indian Garden Farms" is
located off Highway #3 down the hill from the cemetery and they grow
a wide variety of fruit and vegetable crops for the local market.
Bordering them, but located on the Conquerall Mills Rd, is another
Hebb family farm and they specialize in greenhouse plants & are
known as Stewart Hebb's Greenhouses where their claim is that they
are the oldest Hebb farm in Nova Scotia,having worked the same piece
of land since the late 1700's. "Auto Row," as it is locally known,
is located just outside of Bridgewater town limits on Dufferin St
(known as Highway #3 once in Hebbville) and is populated with
dealers such as Ford, Volkswagen and Hyundai.
The village has one school, Hebbville Academy, serving grades P-9
with student population of 687. The school was constructed in 1997
and offers students a wide variety of modern teaching aides. It also
serves as a collector school for much of the western part of the
county.
Hebbville is also seeing much growth in subdivisions as people in
Bridgewater look for areas where the tax rate is lower. Much new
housing is in the planning stages along the William Hebb Road in
particular, which borders town limits.
