===Canada=== The [[Windsor and Annapolis Railway]] arrived in 1868, later becoming the [[Dominion Atlantic Railway]]. Wolfville became a seaport devoted principally to the export of apples from the orchards of the fertile Annapolis Valley. Wolfville Harbour was also a terminus of the [[MV Kipawo|MV ''Kipawo'']] ferry, the last of a long succession of ferries that connected Wolfville, [[Kingsport, Nova Scotia|Kingsport]], and [[Parrsboro, Nova Scotia|Parrsboro]] for 200 years.<ref>{{cite web|url= http://www.bellisland.net/history/kipawo.htm|title= Full Circle: History of the Kipawo|publisher= The Downhomer|date= August 1995|url-status= dead|archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20070928213910/http://www.bellisland.net/history/kipawo.htm|archive-date= September 28, 2007|df= mdy-all}}</ref> The harbour, which empties twice a day due to the high tides of the Bay of Fundy, was once described by [[Robert Ripley]] as the smallest in the world. On March 20, 1893, the Town was incorporated, with E. Perry Bowles elected as its first mayor. In 1985, the town was declared a [[nuclear free zone]]. Wolfville was declared Canada's first [[Fairtrade Town|fair trade town]] on April 17, 2007.<ref>{{cite news | url=http://www.cbc.ca/news/background/fair-trade/ | work=CBC News | title=An alternative economic model | date=April 23, 2007 | access-date=April 25, 2007 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070502043834/http://www.cbc.ca/news/background/fair-trade/ | archive-date=May 2, 2007 | url-status=live | df=mdy-all }}</ref> In May 2016, Wolfville was designated as the third [[Cittaslow]] in Canada.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.wolfville.ca/wolfville-a-cittaslow-community.html |title=press release |access-date=January 10, 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170112190337/http://www.wolfville.ca/wolfville-a-cittaslow-community.html |archive-date=January 12, 2017 |url-status=live |df=mdy-all }}</ref>
