Arcadia is a small village in Nova Scotia, Canada. It is located a few kilometers south of the town of Yarmouth. The village has a population of 1586 in 623 dwellings. It covers 60.41 km². It was originally known as "Upper Chebogue" but the change to Arcadia was made in 1863. While the word itself may be traced back to the native name for a land of peace and contentment, the place name was suggested by the ship "Arcadia" that was built and launched there in 1817.
