Pockwock, Nova Scotia

Pockwock in Nova Scotia

Pockwock is one of four Black Nova Scotian settlements in Upper Hammonds Plains. People in this area are mostly descendants of War of 1812 refugees. It is located in the Halifax Regional Municipality in the Canadian province of Nova Scotia. The Halifax Regional Water Commission uses Pockwock Lake as a source for water for the communities of Halifax, Bedford and Lower Sackville.

Pockwock is underlain by slate-derived loam of the Bridgewater soil series, a well drained podzol which is better for agriculture than the neighbouring granite and quartzite-derived soils which are widespread nearby.
