From 1763 to 1784, Cape Breton Island formed part of Halifax County. Cape Breton Island ceased being a separate colony and was reannexed to Nova Scotia in 1820. The boundary of Halifax County was further modified in 1822. That part of St. Mary's Township (established in 1818) which had been in Halifax County was annexed to and included within Sydney County; "S ...
