Lunenburg, Nova Scotia, Canada was established in 1753 as the first British Colonial. The original layout of the "Old Town" has remained unchanged with some well-preserved wooden houses. Lunenburg was laid out as a model town according to the blueprint for British colonization of the mid 18th century. The grid-pattern streets have remained virtually unchanged in Old Town with the wooden buildings, working waterfront. Lunenburg is on UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) World Heritage List.
