En toponymie, on élide la particule de liaison devant «Halifax» bien qu'on ne le fasse pas devant le titre de noblesse «comte de Halifax». Dans «Noms et lieux du Québec», 1994, page 266, la Commission de toponymie explique l'origine des noms des «municipalités d’Halifax-Nord et d’Halifax-Sud», du «canton d’Halifax», de la «municipalité du canton d’Halifax-Nord», de la «paroisse de Saint-Ferdinand-d’Halifax» et d’«un bureau de poste répondant au nom d’Halifax» comme pouvant «commémorer George Montagu Dunk, second comte de Halifax(1716-1771), qui s’est activement occupé de commerce avec l'Amérique». 2, record 2, French, - comte%20de%20Halifax

Le 1er avril 1996, le gouvernement de la municipalité régionale d’Halifax (que l’on peut être tenté d’appeler «le Grand Halifax») est créé afin de réduire les coûts d’administration et doter la région d’une gestion plus efficace. La fusion d’Halifax, de Dartmouth, de Bedford et du reste du comté d’Halifax sous l’administration d’un maire et de 23 conseillers municipaux pour gérer les affaires métropolitaines n’empêche cependant pas Halifax de conserver son identité propre. 3, record 3, French, - Greater%20Halifax%20Partnership
