            Digby was one of the major settlement areas for Loyalists. The parish of Digby was created on Michaelmas Day- September 29, 1785. The first rector was a Connecticut Loyalist, the Reverend Roger Viets. Bishop Charles Inglis laid the cornerstone for the first Trinity on July 30, 1788.

By the early 1870s, the church was becoming too small to meet the needs of a growing parish. During 1877 and 1878, the parish made plans for a new structure. On July 3, 1878, the cornerstone was laid for the second Trinity Church. The architect was Stephen Earle and the builder was M.L. Oliver of Digby. Bishop Hibbert Binney consecrated the new church on October 13, 1880. (Canada's Historic Places)

The Church of the Nativity, Sandy Cove and St. Paul's Chapel, Marshalltown, were both built in 1844. All Saints Church, Rossway (Gulliver's Cove), had been constructed by 1846. Digby was part of Annapolis County until 1837 when Digby County was formed.
