Albert Bridge, Nova Scotia

Albert Bridge in Nova Scotia

Albert Bridge (2001 pop.: 159) is a rural community in the Canadian province of Nova Scotia, located in 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, 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.
