Dartmouth Refinery
The Dartmouth Refinery is a closed oil refinery in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, owned by Imperial Oil. It is located on the eastern side of Halifax Harbour, and the crude oil arrives via ship. It covers some south of central Dartmouth, with the neighbourhood around it being known as Imperoyal.
==History==
The refinery was founded in 1918, in part to meet the burgeoning needs of the First World War. It played an important role in the Second World War, providing the fuel for much of the Allied North Atlantic fleet. The site was originally the site of Fort Clarence, one of the forts guarding the harbour against attack.
On July 21, 2011 the refinery had to be temporarily shut down due to damage sustained during an electrical storm. Scheduled maintenance was moved ahead to coincide with the repairs. Meanwhile, some fuel suppliers in the refinery's service area closed down due to a lack of supply and the wholesale price for gasoline in New York rose marginally.〔Paul Burkhardt, ("N.Y.
