New Victoria, Nova Scotia
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
New Victoria (2001 pop.: 1,093) is a community in Nova Scotia's Cape Breton Regional Municipality.
New Victoria is located west of New Waterford and east of Victoria Mines. It is approximately 10 kilometres north of Sydney.
It is a small, close-knit community which has a small church (St. Joseph's Church-Roman Catholic) and a lighthouse named the Low Point Lighthouse. The community was founded in 1955 and most of the population are of Irish descent. This was the result of the Irish settlers being driven from their home, in what is now known as Scotchtown.
