Introducing Annapolis Royal & Around
The community’s efforts of village restoration have made this one of the most delightful places to visit in the region. In fact, Annapolis Royal (population 800) is one of the only well-trodden towns of its size in Nova Scotia without a Tim Hortons (a ubiquitous fast-food franchise).

The site was Canada’s first permanent European settlement, Port Royal, founded by French explorer Samuel de Champlain in 1605. As the British and French battled, the settlement often changed hands. In 1710 the British had a decisive victory and changed the town’s name to Annapolis Royal in honor of Queen Anne.
