Nova
Scotia, Canada
|
|
| It
is the most populous province in Maritimes, and its
capital, the Halifax Regional Municipality, is the economic
and cultural center of the region. Nova
Scotia is the second smallest province in Canada, with
an area of only 55,284 km², but its population
of 937,889[1] Nova Scotians (or, less formally, Bluenosers)
makes it the seventh most populous province.
|
Nova
Scotia's economy continues to be largely resource
based, but has in recent years become more diverse.
Traditional industries such as fishing, mining,
forestry and agriculture remain very important,
and have been joined by tourism, technology, film
production, music and other cultural industries.
The
territory now known as Nova Scotia was home to
the Mi'kmaq when the first European settlers arrived.

| In
1604, French settlers estabished the first permanent
settlement north of Florida at Port Royal, founding
what would become known as Acadia. The British Empire
obtained control of the region between 1713 and 1760,
and established the new capital at Halifax in 1749.
Nova Scotia was one of the founding four provinces to
join Confederation with Canada in 1867. |
