A resident, Everett John Ward, made a fortune in the Klondike Gold Rush of 1898. A member of the North-West Mounted Police, he served in Dawson City for several years before striking it rich. Known thereafter as "Klondike Ward", he returned to Kentville in later life and made investments in the town.[1][2]
