Low Point Lighthouse (also known as 'Flat Point Lighthouse') is a historic Canadian lighthouse marking the eastern entrance to Sydney Harbour at New Victoria, Nova Scotia, near New Waterford, Nova Scotia. This is one of the earliest and most important light stations of Nova Scotia, one of the first dozen beacons in Nova Scotia to be lit to guide mariners,〔(【引用サイトリンク】 USQUE AD MARE - A History of the Canadian Coast Guard and Marine Services - The Lights of Canada in 1867 with Dates of Establishment )〕 a classic red-and-white lighthouse still operated by the Canadian Coast Guard. ==The name== This lighthouse and station are located on low lying, flat point of land that thrusts over out into Spanish Bay. The point has been called both ''Low Point'' and ''Flat Point'' since at least 1882.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Notice to Mariners (No. 253) )〕 The Lighthouse and Lightstation have been entered into the official lists of lights under either name, and often both. Locally, both names are still in common use. The name was formerly approved as Flat Point on June 1, 1909. It was changed to Low Point on October 1, 1953.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Nova Scotia Geographical Names Database entry for "Low Point, County of Cape Breton" (includes map) )〕
