Albert Bridge in Nova Scotia

Albert Bridge (2001 pop.: 159) is a Canadian rural community in Nova Scotia's Cape Breton Regional Municipality. Situated on both sides of the Mira River, the community was previously named Mira Ferry for the location of a small ferry crossing the river. It received its present name either in honour of Prince Albert, Prince Consort,^[1] or after Albert Munro, the son of William Henry Munro, Nova Scotia's representative in the British Parliament who used his influence to have the ferry replaced with a bridge in 1849.^{[citation needed]}
