Louisbourg is a historic town located on Cape Breton Island in Nova Scotia, Canada. The town is primarily known for being the site of the Fortress of Louisbourg, an 18th-century French fortress and settlement that played a crucial role in the colonial history of North America.

Originally established by the French in 1713, Louisbourg served as a vital commercial port and military stronghold protecting France's interests in the New World. The fortress was captured by British forces in 1745, returned to France, and then captured again in 1758.

Today, the town is home to the Fortress of Louisbourg National Historic Site, which features one of North America's largest historical reconstructions. The site offers visitors a unique glimpse into 18th-century colonial life, with costumed interpreters and carefully reconstructed buildings that reflect the area's rich French colonial heritage. The modern town of Louisbourg continues to maintain strong connections to its historical roots while also serving as a center for tourism and the local fishing industry.
