KENTVILLE, NS (Canada)
Design C1
Battlements, river, and apple blossom

Kentville exists because there was a crossing of the Cornwallis River there to connect the Annapolis Valley to Halifax and the rest of Nova Scotia east of it. In this design, I added a second castle battlement or crenellations with golden ratio sides to Design B1, at the top and parallel to the one on the bottom, turning the blue from a sky in Design B1, to a river in this design. The rendering also leaves a blue silhouette of railway tracks, which Kentville once had. A single apple blossom appears in the centre.

REFERENCE
Kentville is the most populous town in the Annapolis Valley with a population of about 6600 in 2021. It is mostly known in the present for its annual Apple Blossom Festival in May, and was once known in the early 1800s as The Devil’s Half Acre for its rowdy drinking and horse racing that makes for some delightfully visual flag design ideas! They still use the name at times so it’s not taboo for flag design! Only the iconic Main Street Station with its castle like roof line remains of Kentville’s architectural history, with no designated historic properties in town. Otherwise, the town owes to its existence in originally crossing the Cornwallis River to connect the rest of the Valley with the rest of the Nova Scotia mainland. The Acadians were the first European settlers there before being expelled and replaced by the British.
