Middle La Have, Nova Scotia

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Middle La Have is a historic community in the Canadian province of Nova Scotia, located on the La Have River in Lunenburg County. It is located along the Nova Scotia Lighthouse Route in the Bridgewater/Lunenburg region.

Samuel de Champlain struck settlement claims along the banks of both the North and South shores of the river, including Middle La Have. Traditionally the Northern side of the La Have is predominantly on the Lighthouse Route , offering a diverse culture, with both French and English backgrounds. Following the colonisation by British and French settlers, German families also immigrated to the South Shore, founding Lunenburg in 1753. Their culture and traditions are apparent in the area from the dialect to the architecture.
