I currently live in Dartmouth. I call it the darkside because once here, good luck doing anything. It's really old and you have to travel many kilometers before you can go anywhere interesting. Stores generally stay closed on Sundays. There is no traffic, really. It's a really really old style place and not for some people (myself included). But I'm here - but not forever... -Stoneman
Just a comment to stoneman...What is wrong with you? Have you no pride in your city? And what are you talking about it being a lifeless old city. It is full of life, culture, and events, and if you took the time to actually take your head out of your ass and look around, you would see that Dartmouth is a great city (for in the mind of true Dartmouth patriots, Dartmouth will always be Dartmouth, never HRM) full of life and yes...stores are closed on sundays, like the rest of NS, thats very astute of you... From, a very loyal Dartmouth citizen:

I'm a student at Dartmouth High School. Recently at our 'freestyle friday', we had a group of African-Canadian youth rap about "darkside this", "darkside that". Presently, it's the name for a gang of youth in North End Dartmouth. I don't think it should be on the page simply on the basis that it is promoting gangs. -- 142.68.242.38 05:08, 25 March 2006 (UTC)
I've never heard the term Darkside in 30-something years in this area, and I suspect it's really not all that relevant. I also dislike the "(former city)" title - makes it sound like it's been razed! What would be the harm in just mentioning the amalgamation at the beginning of the article instead? -Tony

I lived in Dartmouth for 50 years and I never heard of the term Darkside -- Vic 21:10, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
Daarkside is not racist, it's just a nickname. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.30.247.151 ( talk) 23:15, 10 February 2011 (UTC)
Whis is this at Dartmouth, Nova Scotia (former city)? It should be at Dartmouth, Nova Scotia. We don't have Hull, Quebec at Hull, Quebec (former city) :p -- Earl Andrew - talk 08:15, 9 April 2006 (UTC) I agree its Dartmouth NS period.-- Vic 21:08, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
It should be written as The community of Dartmouth when refered to in other articles .-- Vic 20:48, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
I know "Imperoyal" is written on the Metro Transit route map, but I always thought it was just a very strange misspelling of Imperial Oil. Ouuplas 05:00, 26 July 2006 (UTC).
It is called Imperoyal for sure - see link from Destination Nova Scotia [1]-- 1190557 23:26, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
I know there is a footnote saying Darmouth's population is 97K, but the page says "Dartmouth community." The other footnote says 65K. I grew up there, it was always 60-65K, there is no way 32K people moved into the old city of Dartmouth between 2001-2006. I think that the second footnote is about Dartmouth, Cole Harbour and parts east.... WayeMason 01:26, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

Isn't Sidney Crosby from Cole Harbour, which is technically incorporated with Dartmouth but is often considered a separate community? -- NovaBrunswick 19:52, 2 October 2016 (UTC)

The current picture of only Alderney Landing from 10 years ago does a poor job of representing Dartmouth. This picture taken this month showing the skyline I think would be a much better representation. I've made a cropped version as well, if that is better.

Photo definitely should be updated. What's wrong with the new picture? 24.215.116.77 ( talk) 04:12, 31 May 2018 (UTC)
The new photo provided by RoshanMcG does provide an updated view of the Dartmouth waterfront. Photos on Wikipedia should be updated occasionally if they don't otherwise impact on the content or the quality of the article. MonctonRad ( talk) 18:00, 2 September 2018 (UTC)
Not exactly sure what the issue is, he (
User:Warrenwesson) says Dartmouth is a former city, but what is it now? Is it not still a community?
I've known Gloria McCluskey for over thirty years and love her to death but without a Wikipedia article (as have the rest) I can't agree with her being included as "famous".
"Dartmouth has a significant economic sector" and "Dartmouth's future looks bright." (According to whom? Wikipedia?)
District 2 is not Dartmouth. The riding runs from Cherry Brook to Ecum Secum according to the website of the Councillor (Hendsbee).
