About Kings

Kings Subdivision A is a county subdivision in Nova Scotia’s Kings County, covering rural and semi-rural communities in the Annapolis Valley rather than a single incorporated town. Settlements, farms, and highway corridors share the Minas Basin and valley floor landscape with neighbouring towns such as Kentville and Wolfville, which are counted separately. About 22,000 people live in Kings Subd. A.
