Greenwood is a small village in Kings County, Nova Scotia, best known today as the home of Canadian Forces Base Greenwood, the largest air base in Atlantic Canada. The community began in the late 1700s with Loyalist settlers on Mi’kmaq land, and for much of its early life it was a quiet farming hamlet near the Dominion Atlantic Railway. Everything changed in 1942 when farmland was transformed into an airfield for the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan. The military presence reshaped Greenwood, bringing new residents, schools, and services, and the base has remained its economic and cultural anchor ever since. Today, Greenwood balances its dual identity as a military town and rural village, with a population shaped by both deep local roots and families connected to global deployments.
