Lake is located north of Halifax on Route #2.
WHAT'S IN A NAME?
The area was first known as Fletcher's Bridge, after
William Fletcher Sr. who purchase land around the lake bears his
name to this day. Landowner Colonel John W. Laurie of nearby
Oakfield, then later suggested the settlement's current name in
honour of the Duke of Wellington.

Over the years, Wellington developed into cottage

as residents began to live in the district year round and commute to
jobs in Sackville, Bedford, Halifax or Dartmouth.
