LaHave, is a small coastal community with deep historical roots. Located on the south shore along the LaHave River, it was once the capital of New France from 1632 to 1636 under Isaac de Razilly, making it one of the earliest European settlements in Canada. The area was a hub for trade and shipbuilding, especially during the 18th and 19th centuries. Today, LaHave is known for its scenic beauty, historic ferry crossing, and the beloved LaHave Bakery. With its mix of Acadian, Mi’kmaq, and European heritage, it’s a charming place where history and natural beauty meet.
