Victoria County, Administrative county in Cape Breton region, Nova Scotia, Canada
Victoria County spans 2,870 square kilometers of land between coastal areas and forested hills, with Baddeck functioning as its administrative center.
The county formed in 1851 when Cape Breton County divided into two sections, with the northern portion becoming Victoria County under Nova Scotia jurisdiction.
Scottish Gaelic traditions remain present through language preservation programs and community initiatives that maintain connections to Maritime Canadian heritage.
The Municipality of Victoria County manages local services, including waste collection and recycling facilities, through seven elected council members.
Early settlers transported substantial potato harvests by ship to Newfoundland markets, establishing maritime trade routes that shaped the county's development.
