City of Halifax Nova Scotia -( from Wikipedia)
Area Total 97.23 km2 , Population 285,000
The Town of Halifax was founded by British government by Governor Edward Cornwallis in 1749.
Halifax was ideal for a military base, with the vast Halifax Harbour, among the largest natural harbours in the world, which could be well protected with batteries at McNab's Island, the North West Arm, Point Pleasant, George's Island and York Redoubt.
In its early years, Citadel Hill was used as a command post, before changes in artillery that could range out into the harbour.
