Sydney is a Canadian urban community in the province of Nova Scotia. It is situated on the east coast of Cape Breton Island. It was founded by Col. Joseph Frederick Wallet Desbarres in 1785, and named in honour of Thomas Townshend, 1st Viscount Sydney. In recent decades, Cape Breton Island has become home to a significant tourism industry, with Sydney (as the island's largest urban centre) being a prime beneficiary. Until the early 2000s when its economy was tied to the steel industry, Sydney had been overlooked as a tourist destination, Sydney's tourism draw is increasingly linked to its cultural asset as being the urban heart of Cape Breton Island. Its population is a diverse mixture of nationalities which contributes to various Scottish, Acadian, African Canadian and eastern European cultural events being held throughout the year.
