Arcadia, Nova Scotia


Arcadia
: North of Yarmouth. Originally known as "Upper Chebogue", the change to Arcadia was made in 1863. While the word itself may be traced back to the indian name for a land of peace and contentment, the place name was suggested by the brig "Arcadia" built and launched there in 1817.
