***********
The Village of Bible Hill is located
across the Salmon River from the Town of Truro in Colchester County, Nova Scotia. The Village
was incorporated in 1953 and today, with a population of over 5,000, Bible
Hill is a vibrant, primarily residential community. Although 21 villages
are located throughout Nova Scotia, Bible Hill and Tatamagouche
are the only two situated in Colchester County.
During the late 1700's and the early 1800's, the
ancestors of the Millbrook
First Nation lived along the banks of the Salmon River between the
Town of Truro and the Village of Bible Hill. This parcel of land was sold
in 1855 to the School of Agriculture.
The School of Agriculture evolved into the Nova Scotia Agricultural
College. The college is now one of the nation’s leaders
in scientific research in the agricultural field. The NSAC occupies a large
area in the Village with its' campus, test gardens, and fields. Bible Hill
has a unique mix of the urban and rural.
For information concerning economic development in
the region, contact CoRDA
or the Truro and District Chamber
of Commerce. For visitor information contact the Central Nova Tourist Association.
Genealogical and historical data for our community is held
at the Colchester
Historical Society Museum and Archives.
