Bridgewater was settled in the late 18th century as an outpost of Lunenburg: its location was a vital one as the La Have River brought shipping inland to the wharves, while timber and produce were transported downstream from local sawmills and markets. When one of the province's largest lumber operations, the Davison Lumber Company, settled in the area in the 1860's commerce picked up considerably and created interest in surveying the settlement for a town. Bridgewater was incorporated on 13 February 1899. Among the first tasks of the Town were the creation of a small police force, the establishment of formal control over the volunteer fire brigade and board of school commissioners (already in existence) and the paving and extension of the streets. The town bought the electric and water utilities out from private ownership in 1902, and afterwards acquired the Brookside Cemetery. In 1920 the Town was the driving force behind the Dawson (South Shore Regional) Hospital and public works continued to expand with the installation of street lighting, water and sewer lines and road construction. Because of substantial economic development and population increase in the post-war years, the utilities were placed under a separate Public Service Commission in 1948. In 1966 the Dawson Hospital was renovated and reopened. In the late 1960s a growing focus on planning and development saw the creation of the Bridgewater Industrial Commission, while the arrival of Michelin in 1970 produced a significant rise in employment and revenue. A municipal development plan was drafted in 1975, the Town's recreation program came into existence in 1972 and the Parks and Recreation Commission was established in 1973. The Town has cooperated with neighbouring municipal units in developing shared municipal services, such as the Regional Library (1972), the Regional Planning Commission (1973), and the district school board (1982). In the late 20th century Bridgewater is the commercial, judicial and governmental centre of Lunenburg County.

The Boys' Brigade was founded in Glasgow on 4th October 1883 by Sir William Alexander Smith. From this one Company formed in Scotland the BB has grown in to a worldwide movement having worked with millions of children and young people for well over a century. -- Widespread organised camping for adolescents was something completely new in the late 19th century. The Founder’s introduction of camping into the programme in 1886 was an innovation and helped to sow the seeds of one of the most popular recreational pastimes still enjoyed today. From this first camp held at Tighnabruiach in 1886, thousands of members still enjoy holidays and residential activities as part of their Company programme each year. -- The Boys’ Brigade was the first voluntary uniformed youth movement in the world and many of today’s organisations for young people can trace their roots back through history to The Boys’ Brigade.
