Ironville is a community in the Canadian province of Nova Scotia, located in the Cape Breton Regional Municipality on Cape Breton Island. Formerly known as Boisdale Barrachois, the community was renamed when a separate post office was setup within the area in 1878, just east of Boisdale, and a new name to distinguish it from Boisdale and Barrachois was needed. Since iron was discovered here in 1886, the name Ironville was chosen, on August 1, 1907.
