Incorporated as a town in 1919, it is now home to a population of just 1000. The residents are mostly made of a quiet community of retirees.

Like Mahone Bay, Lunenburg, NS is a town known for its historic charm. In fact, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) classified it as a historic site in 1995. Its beautiful architecture and civic design make it a perfect specimen of planned British colonial settlement in the country.
