Louisbourg



Louisbourg (pop. 1,400), town in northeastern Nova Scotia, Canada, on the Atlantic. A French fortress founded in 1713, it was captured by American colonials in 1745, restored to France in 1748, and taken by the English in 1758. The remains of the fortress are now part of a National Historic Park, and Louisbourg is a port for coal-shipping and fishing.
