History

The Windsor and Annapolis Railway established their operational headquarters here in 1868. In 1894 the amalgamation of the Windsor and Anapolis Railway and the Western Counties Railway led to the formation of the Dominion Atlantic Railway. It's corporate offices like the Windsor and Annapolis were located in London, England. After the 1911 lease to Canadian Pacific Railway the corporate offices were moved to Montreal, Quebec but the day to day operational headquarters remained in Kentville to the very end.
