This city of 26,000 is Nova Scotia's third largest. It was founded in 1785 and settled by Loyalists from New York State. Later on immigrants from Scotland arrived. At the turn of the 20th century, with the construction of the steel plant, Sydney boomed. This, and the nearby coal mines helped Sydney's development into a major port. The ferry to Newfoundland leaves from North Sydney.
There are several museums worth visiting. Cossit House Museum, Jost House Museum, the Cape Breton Centre for Heritage and Science, and the St. Patrick's Church Museum.
Take a stroll along the three km Boardwalk or in Wentworth Park. |
