Amherst is a historic town located in Cumberland County, Nova Scotia, near the New Brunswick border. As the largest urban center in Cumberland County, it serves as an important regional service hub.

The town's development was closely tied to the shipbuilding industry and railway construction in the 19th century, leading to the construction of many Victorian-era buildings that still characterize its downtown area. Amherst has a rich cultural heritage reflected in its well-preserved architecture and local museums.

The town's location at the head of the Bay of Fundy, known for having the world's highest tides, has influenced its development and cultural identity. Today, Amherst maintains its historical charm while serving as a gateway between Nova Scotia and New Brunswick.
