Welcome toChester

The Village of Chester is situated along the South Shore of Nova Scotia and only 45 minutes from Halifax. Our history dates back 224 years when it was first settled by New England planters and fishermen. In 1761, a vessel carrying eighteen adults and ten children first dropped anchor in Chester Harbor.

Presently, the Village of Chester has a population of 1100 residents with a majority being cottagers and sailing enthusiast. Each year, the Chester Yacht Club holds its annual Regatta in August. The Village is governed by a Commission of five Commissioners.
