Dartmouth founded in 1750, is a Metropolitan Area and former city in the Canadian province of Nova Scotia.
Dartmouth and the neighbouring metropolitan area of Halifax form the urban core of the Halifax Regional Municipality (HRM). Both cities, along with the town of Bedford and the Municipality of the County of Halifax were dissolved on April 1, 1996 when they were amalgamated into HRM.
A 560 page history of Dartmouth, The Story of Dartmouth, was privately published by John Patrick Martin in 1957, with a revised edition in 1965. The John Martin Junior High School was named in his honour.[1]
