Overview
Stellarton “is a village of considerable importance, a short distance from New Glasgow, on the Intercolonial Railroad. On account of its proximity to the coal mines, a large amount of business is done there.
It contains several churches, including Presbyterian, Church of England, Methodist, and Roman Catholic, situate between New Glasgow and the village. It is well provided with good stores, hotels, telegraph and post-offices, together with ample school accommodation.” (Meacham, J.H. )
