[edit] Origin of the name "Bridgetown"
While researching the town-twinnings of Bridgetown, Barbados, I came across this article written by the Barbadian Ministery of Foreign Affairs. It says that Bridgetown (Nova Scotia) was named after Bridgetown (Barbados) by a former Barbadian. But this PDF on the official website of Bridgetown (Nova Scotia) indicates it was named so after its own bridge. Can anyone shed some light on this? The web is not very helpful here and Germany is not exactly full of books about tiny towns in Cananda. Thanks --Regani.de (talk) 13:42, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
