For more than two and a half centuries Halifax has experienced both
war and peace, growing from a frontier outpost to one of Canada's
most appealing and forward-looking cities.
For many years the fate of the city was determined by the rivalries
among Britain, France, and the United States: conflict meant
prosperity for Halifax in 1812 and again during the U.S. Civil War.
During the Victorian era Halifax enjoyed lively commerce and
manufacturing and an active and progressive social and cultural
life. The early decades of the twentieth century, punctuated by
economic depression, world war and the devastation of the 1917
Explosion, were difficult for the city. It was not until the 1960s
that Halifax started to prosper again, its growth fuelled by
government policies and trends favouring urbanization.
"Halifax: The First 250 Years" brings together extensive research
into the diversity of the city's development with more than 300
illustrations, many in colour, providing a vivid portrait of the
city and its diverse residents through the years.
