Halifax Regional Municipality is located on the Atlantic coast of Nova Scotia, Canada.
The first permanent European settlement in the area was the establishment of the Town of Halifax in 1749, with other towns and villages were settled throughout the region in the decades that followed. In 1996 the provincial government amalgamated all municipal governments within Halifax County to create HRM, a regional municipality comprising approximately 200 individual neighbourhoods and communities (placenames) for civic addressing grouped into 18 planning areas for zoning purposes.
The Halifax urban area is a major economic centre in eastern Canada with a large concentration of government services and private sector companies. Major employers and economic generators include the Department of National Defense, various levels of government, and the Port of Halifax. Agriculture, fishing, mining, forestry and natural gas extraction are major resource industries found in the rural areas of HRM.
