Stellarton, Nova Scotia
Welcome to the Town of Stellarton, a thriving community of 4,700
residents and situated on the East River, a short drive from the
Northumberland Strait with the warmest water north of the Carolinas.
Stellarton is proud of its Scottish roots and is rich in the history
of coal mining and railways. Coal was discovered in 1798. As a
result the railway built to transport the coal was the first to use
standard gauge and iron rails in Canada. Canada’s oldest locomotive,
the Samson, along with the Albion are still housed here in the
Museum of Industry, one of the largest museums in Atlantic Canada.
Stellarton is an excellent place to live and work with a large
variety of stores close by. Nova Scotia Community College, Pictou
Campus is located here as well as some of the best recreation
facilities in Nova Scotia. We have several ball fields, an indoor
and outdoor soccer complex, good walking trails, beautiful Allan
Park and a partially completed track and field area. Don’t forget to
check out our uniquely painted fire hydrants!
Stellarton is a progressive community. It recently developed the
infrastructure for a new business park along Highway 104. As well,
the downtown core is becoming more attractive thanks to our
Community in Bloom Committee and offers the visitor exciting places
to shop and eat
