Sydney, Nova Scotia
Sydney on Cape Breton Island was originally founded in 1785 by fleeing British Loyalists. They established a coal- and steel-producing community in Sydney that attracted a myriad of ethnic backgrounds. Today Sydney still exports coal and is a perfect jumping point for the scenic attractions of Cape Breton Island.
