From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Arcadia in Nova Scotia
Arcadia is a small community in Nova Scotia, Canada, adjacent to the Town of Yarmouth.[1] It was originally known as "Upper Chebogue" from its location on the upper reaches of the tidal Chebogue River. The name was changed to Arcadia in 1863.[2] While the word itself may be traced back to the Greek name for a land of peace and contentment (see Arcadia (utopia)), the place name was suggested by the ship "Arcadia" built and launched there in 1817.[3]
