Preston's previous community boundaries stretched westward into parts of what is now Dartmouth and through the area now known as Westphal (including through Cherry Brook) to highway 111, and Eastward through what is now Lake Echo and Porter's Lake to Myra Rd. (including through East Preston), North to North Preston, and South through parts of Cole Harbour to the boudaries of Lawrencetown. Currently, there is no actual community or area strictly known as "Preston". Rather, Preston is generally used to refer to the area encompassed by the communities of East Preston, North Preston, and Cherry Brook, or in reference to the Preston Electoral District

Preston has the largest percentage of Black people of any area in Canada; 69.4% of its population is Black.
