| Incorporated as a Town in 1893, Wolfville was originally settled by the | ||
| Acadians who were expelled by British forces in 1755. The area was | ||
| resettled by New England planters who arrived in 1760. Wolfville |
||
| was originally named Mud Creek after the muddy harbour located in | ||
| the downtown. In 1830 the name was changed when two granddaughters | ||
| of Judge Elisha DeWolfe convinced their postmaster uncle, Elisha | ||
| Junior, that a more suitable name was needed. With about half of the | ||
| homeowners on the main road being DeWolfe's or DeWolfe by family | ||
| connection, the name Wolfville was chosen. | ||
