Dartmouth has a long and rich history as a prosperous city. It was established in 1750, just a year after the founding of Halifax, and was officially amalgamated as part of the Halifax Regional Municipality in 1996.

Dartmouth is most appreciated for the fact that its development areas have not eliminated the presence of nature, but have worked hard to complement it. This is what has made it so popular with nature lovers, cyclists, walkers and paddlers. Aptly called the “City of Lakes”, Dartmouth’s 23 lakes provide opportunities for kayaking, windsurfing, canoeing and swimming.
