Hants County is a county in the Canadian province of Nova Scotia which was the home of Henry Alline, Thomas Chandler Haliburton, Alden Nowlan and Noel Doiron. The county of Hants was created June 17, 1781, and consisted of the townships of Windsor, Falmouth and Newport. Originally getting its name from the County of Southamptonshire in England, now known as Hampshire, and abbreviated to Hants, the County was established out of part of what had been Kings County. Subsequently in 1861, Hants County was divided into two Districts called East Hants and West Hants.
