		Lunenburg was the first British colonial settlement in Nova Scotia outside of Halifax and was a deliberate attempt at civilian colonization of what, until that time, had been a native, Acadian territory.
		By the mid-19th century, the town had outgrown its old boundaries and in 1862 parts of the surrounding Common Land were subdivided to facilitate expansion.
		Areas immediately to the east and west of the Old Town were sectioned for building lots and larger parcels while an area further west beyond the head of Lunenburg harbour was subdivided to create "New Town." The "New Town" area quickly became fashionable and impressive new houses were built there by wealthy merchants and professionals.

		Lunenburg, the famously picturesque and historic seafaring town on Nova Scotia's south coast, was founded in June of 1753 by 1,400 settlers dispatched by the King of England to establish Britain's second colony in Nova Scotia (the first was Halifax).
		The area around Lunenburg was not particularly fertile, and within a generation, the settlers had abandoned farming in favour of working as fishermen, merchants and shipbuilders.
		Twenty-five years after the town was founded, residents were still fussing over the design of their homes and erecting increasingly imposing houses.
