Dartmouth, Urban community in Halifax, Canada
The community extends across 60 square kilometers on the eastern shore of Halifax Harbour, featuring 23 lakes within its boundaries.
British colonial authorities established the settlement in 1750 to support Halifax fortress, on land previously inhabited by Mi'kmaq people.
The Dartmouth North Community Centre provides spaces for local gatherings, including a maker space, programming rooms, and facilities for various activities.
The area connects to Halifax through two bridges: the Angus L. Macdonald Bridge and the A. Murray MacKay Bridge, facilitating daily transportation.
Lake Banook and Sullivan's Pond, among the 23 lakes in Dartmouth, offer residents opportunities for water activities throughout different seasons.
