Yarmouth County

Yarmouth County is a county in the Canadian province of Nova Scotia. The name Yarmouth first appeared as a projected township in Nova Scotia in 1759. There is some speculation it was named after Yarmouth, Massachusetts as some of the earliest English settlers arrived from Cape Cod on 9 June 1761.
