  • Brooklyn (2021 population: 849) is a suburban community in the Region of Queens Municipality in Queens County, Nova Scotia, Canada. Located on the east bank of the Mersey River opposite Liverpool, Brooklyn was originally known as Herring Cove and was the building place of the noted privateer brig Rover. The name Brooklyn was placed on the map in 1907 when the Halifax and Southwestern Railway opened between Yarmouth and Halifax. In 1929, Bowater Mersey Paper Company Limited opened a large pulp and paper plant in Brooklyn to produce newsprint; until its closure in 2012, it was the area's largest employer. This industrial site has since been redeveloped as a mixed use industrial and commercial facility. As of 2019, the largest firm is Aqualitas, a cannabis cultivation company. Lloyoll Built is a prefabricated and modular home builder. CN Rail abandoned rail service during the early 1980s, this being the former Halifax and Southwestern Railway. Many of the rail beds have been repurposed as multi-use trails. Brooklyn native, Hank Snow is honoured by the Hank Snow Country Music Centre and co-located Nova Scotia Country Music Hall of Fame which are housed in the restored heritage railway station in neighboring Liverpool. In 2020, organist Xaver Varnus bought the Pilgrim United Church, which was built in 1895, installed a Casavant Frères concert organ, and re-opened it as his private concert hall. (en)
