The Historic District of Annapolis Royal is the historic centre of the town of Annapolis Royal, Nova Scotia, Canada. The Annapolis Basin is the location of the earliest permanent European settlement in North America north of St. Augustine, Florida.[1] The land on which the Historic District itself is situated has had permanent European habitation since at least 1629.[2]
The Historic District was designated a National Historic Site of Canada on 5 June 1994.[3]
