Welcome to Dartmouth!

The seaside city of Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, was founded in 1750, just one year after its neighbouring city, Halifax, and was incorporated into the Halifax Regional Municipality in the mid-nineties. Also known as the "City of Lakes", the community of Dartmouth is a nature-lover's paradise, boasting numerous opportunities for hiking, biking and boating. With an extensive boardwalk offering stunning ocean views, the Dartmouth Waterfront Park is an excellent place for visitors to spend a day. Costumed tour guides explain the history of the area at the Quaker House, a 1786 home that now serves as a tourist attraction, as well as at the Dartmouth Heritage Museum, located within the historic Evergreen House. The Black Cultural Centre showcases the remarkable history of black people in early and present-day Nova Scotia. Of course, no trip to Dartmouth would be complete without strolling along the Shubenacadie Canal, which meanders through the lush forest of this scenic lake country.
