Greenfield, Queens County

Greenfield is a community in the Canadian province of Nova Scotia, located in the Region of Queens Municipality.[1] The sawmill in Greenfield, founded in 1832, is one of the oldest family-run sawmill businesses in North America.[2] Until 1850 the region was occupied mostly by the Mi'kmaq of the Algonquin tribe,[3] who seasonally settled the area below the lakes on either side of what is now called the Medway River and was known by the Mi'kmaq as Wigadoon.[3]
