Woodville, Nova Scotia
Woodville is a community located in the Annapolis Valley of Nova
Scotia, north of Cambridge and Waterville and at the foot of the
North Mountain in Kings County.
Centred along Route 221, Woodville
has a fire department, a Baptist Church, two auto body shops, and
many family-run farms. A community centre is located in the former
school, built in 1942. The former Wesley Knox United Church, built
in 1921, was sold in 2006 is now a residence and artist's workshop.
Each spring during the Apple Blossom Festival, the community comes
together to stage a chicken barbecue on Boates' farm the Sunday of
the festival, which is known for its chicken recipe that draws
visitors from nearby towns.
The community's name is believed to be based on a prominent stand of
woods or the name of an early settler. It was once known as Kinsmans
Corner. Woodville became a stop on the Cornwallis Valley Railway
branch line of the Dominion Atlantic Railway in 1914 which greatly
stimulated apple production. Many large orchards remain in
operation.
