Historic Spryfield
The first European settler in the area was Henry Leiblin, a Halifax baker who received five hundred acres in 1767 and named his home "Leiblin Manor." Today, Leiblin Park subdivision is located where Leiblin's home once stood. Captain William Spry, a British military engineer, purchased three lots of Leiblin Manor. He employed soldiers under his command to clear a large field, where he operated a farm. It was from references to Spry’s farm and Spry’s fields that the name Spryfield evolved.
