Part of a series about Places in Nova Scotia

Queens County is a county in the Canadian province of Nova Scotia.

Liverpool, the county seat of Queens County, was founded in 1759 by New England Planters. Founded for the most part by New England settlers, Liverpool maintained strong ties with the American colonies until the outbreak of the American Revolution.

On July 21, 1762 the Lieutenant Governor and Council of Nova Scotia declared that "the Townships of Liverpool, Barrington and Yarmouth together with the intermediate lands should be erected into a county by the name of Queens County". Parts of the new county were taken from Lunenburg County, which now lies to the northeast.

In 1784, Shelburne County was formed in part from southwestern portions of Queens County. The new county boundaries were established by an Order-in-Council dated December 16, 1785.

Queens County contains substantial portions of Kejimkujik National Park, including the main body of the park inland north of Caledonia and the Seaside Adjunct near Port Joli and Port Mouton.

In 1996, the county's municipal government merged with the town of Liverpool to form the Region of Queens Municipality, thus the county is contiguous with the boundaries of the regional municipality, minus First Nations reserves.

In addition to Liverpool, communities in Queens County include:

* Caledonia
* Port Mouton
* Port Joli
* Milton
* Brooklyn
