What's the Story of Hebbville?
Hebbville gets its name from the Hebb family. This family's name is still very common in the area today.
About 100 years ago, the village was called Hebbs Mills. This was because the Hebb family owned three mills there. These mills used the power of water flowing from Hebb Lake into Fancy Lake.

Farming in Hebbville
Two main farms in the village are owned by different branches of the Hebb family. They are related, but not closely.
- Indian Garden Farms: This farm is located off Highway #3. They grow many different fruits and vegetables. These crops are sold to people in the local area.
- Stewart Hebb's Greenhouses: This farm is on Conquerall Mills Road. They grow greenhouse plants. This farm says it's the oldest Hebb farm in Nova Scotia. The family has been working on the same land since the late 1700s!

Growing Community
