Histoire administrative
The Court of General Sessions of the Peace were the original governing and administrative body in Queens County until 1879 when the provincial government's County Incorporation Act came into force. This act divided rural Nova Scotia into municipalities, based on the boundaries of Sessional districts, and made the incorporation of these administrative units compulsory. Today the Queens County unit is known as the Region of Queens Municipalitys. In 1897 the residents of Liverpool voted to become an incorporated town. At this time a mayor and town council were elected and assumed most of the administrative duties for the town of Liverpool from the municipality. This administrative arrangement existed until 1 April 1996, when the Town of Liverpool disincorporated and rejoined the Region of Queens Municipality.
