This article appears in Volume V02, Page 64 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: ANC-APO
ANNAPOLIS , a town of Nova Scotia,
capital
  of Annapolis county and up to 1750 of the entire peninsula of Nova Scotia; situated on an arm of the Bay of Fundy, at the mouth of the Annapolis river, 95 m. W. of
Halifax
 ; and the terminus of the
Windsor
  & Annapolis railway. Pop. (1901) 1019. It is one of the oldest settlements in North America, having been founded in 1604 by the
French
 , who called it Port Royal. It was captured by the British in 1710, and ceded to them by the treaty of
Utrecht
  in 1713, when the name was changed in honour of Queen
Anne
 . It possesses a good harbour, and the beauty of the surrounding country makes it a favourite summer resort. The town is surrounded by apple orchards and in May miles of blossoming trees make a beautiful sight. The fruit, which is excellent in quality, is the
principal
  export of the region.
