Editing Halifax County, Nova Scotia (section)

==Governance==
Municipal government at the county level in Nova Scotia dates to proclamation of ''The County Incorporation Act'' on April 17, 1879, which saw the establishment of the Municipality of the County of Halifax.

The Municipality of the County of Halifax was the municipal government of Halifax County, apart from the separately incorporated towns and cities therein as well as several First Nation reserves. The county municipality was dissolved on April 1, 1996, together with those town and city municipal governments, and all were [[Amalgamation of the Halifax Regional Municipality|amalgamated into the Halifax Regional Municipality]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.halifax.ca/community/history.php|title=History of Halifax|publisher=Halifax|language=en|access-date=8 November 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150924024755/http://www.halifax.ca/community/history.php|archive-date=24 September 2015|url-status=dead}}</ref>

The boundaries of Halifax County and the [[Halifax Regional Municipality]] are approximately the same. The county, however, also includes five First Nations reserves.

Halifax County continues to exist as a county in Nova Scotia, but all municipal government and service delivery is provided by either the Halifax Regional Municipality or the respective First Nations, with no additional county level government or administration.
