Enfield is a ex-urban community located in the Shubenacadie Valley on the border of Hants and Halifax counties in Nova Scotia, Canada. Specifically, Enfield exists in both the East Hants Municipal District and the Halifax Regional Municipality and is divided by the Shubenacadie River. Perfectly positioned for country living residents love the location for its convenient commute to the downtown cores of Halifax and Dartmouth as well as its close proximity to Stanfield International Airport. Neighbouring Elmsdale offers all the amenities of a modern and dynamic community such as schools, recreational facilities, shopping, banking, restaurants and entertainment. Many of these amenities are conveniently located and access to the 102 highway system is always nearby.

History Grants of land around what is now Enfield, were given after 1760. The first was given to Benjamin Franklin, a parcel of land on the side of the Shubenacadie River opposite the main part of the present village. Andrew Horne (son of Jacob Horne Sr., a German who enlisted in the 42nd Highland Regiment) was the first settler in Enfield district, clearing a farm in the wilderness near the lock at Horne Settlement. Enfield became a village comparatively late in the history of Nova Scotia, it does not appear in any early census of the province. Early people living in the area were probably listed under Nine Mile River, Douglas or ‘The Crossing’ (Enfield’s former name). It is recorded that Enfield was named at a public meeting, called at Malcolm’s Pottery in 1862. Thomas B. Donaldson, suggested the name Enfield. In 1863, due to his interest and perseverance, the name “Enfield” was officially adopted as the name for the settlement. It has been said that he took a fancy to the name when he resided in the town of Enfield Connecticut.

Situated near the halfway point between Halifax and Truro, Enfield was once home to a prominent railway station constructed by the Nova Scotia Railway and later the and Canadian National Railway; it has since been demolished. During the mid-19th century, a system of locks on the Shubenacadie River in Enfield assisted small vessels in navigating from the to nearby Shubenacadie Grand Lake as part of the Shubenacadie Canal.
