Its provincial capital is Halifax. Nova Scotia is the second-smallest province in Canada, with an area of 55,284 square kilometres (21,300 sq mi), including Cape Breton and another 3,800 coastal islands.

Nova Scotia means New Scotland in Latin and is the recognized English language name for the province. In Scottish Gaelic, the province is called Alba Nuadh, which also simply means New Scotland. The province was first named in the 1621 Royal Charter granting the right to settle lands including modern Nova Scotia, Cape Breton Island, Prince Edward Island, New Brunswick and the Gaspé Peninsula to Sir William Alexander in 1632.

Nova Scotia (album)

Nova Scotia is the third album by Cousteau, released in 2005 on the Endeavour record label. It was subsequently released in the U.S. under the band name 'Moreau' due to legal reasons on the One Little Indian label with two additional tracks (*). The US release also featured new artwork.

Davey Ray Moor had previously left the band leaving the main song writing duties to be taken over by lead singer Liam McKahey. "We thought it was the end and we were all feeling really emotional," says McKahey of Moor's departure. "But after a few pints, we'd decided to carry on and do it (the songwriting) ourselves. It was sink or swim, and we decided to swim."

Route 207 is a state highway in eastern Connecticut, running from Hebron to Sprague.

Route description

Route 207 begins at an intersection with Route 85 in southeastern Hebron and heads east into Lebanon. In Lebanon, it heads southeast between Williams and Brewster Ponds before turning east through the town center and into Franklin. In Franklin, it continues east past Gages Pond before turning southeast in eastern Franklin and crossing into Sprague. In Sprague, it continues east to end at an intersection with Route 97 on the west bank of the Shetucket River in Baltic.

The section of Route 207 in Franklin is designated the Paul Henry Bienvenue Memorial Highway.

History

In 1922, the road from Taftville via Baltic and North Franklin to Lebanon center, was designated as a secondary state highway known as Highway 354. The portion of old Highway 354 between Lebanon center and Baltic was renumbered to Route 207 in the 1932 state highway renumbering. At the same time, the section from Baltic to Taftville was assigned as part of Route 97. In 1935, Route 207 was extended west to the village of Exeter (at Route 16), and further westward to Hebron center (at Route 85) in 1940. At around the same time, the eastern end was reconfigured such that it paralleled but did not intersect Route 97 to the Sprague-Norwich town line. The eastern terminus was moved to its current location in 1962. In 1961, a section in Franklin was reconstructed and realigned to improve the grade.
