History of Dartmouth, Nova Scotia (NS)
In 1750, the ship Alderny arrived with 151 immigrants. The Council at Halifax decided that these new arrivals should be settled on the other side of Halifax Harbour, in an area known to the Mi'kmaq as "Boonamoogwaddy" or Tomcod Ground. The community was later given the English name of Dartmouth in honour of William Legge, the first Earl of Dartmouth and a former nobleman in the court of Queen Anne.
