One of Canada’s three Maritime Provinces, New Brunswick is constitutionally bilingual. While the majority of the population speaks English, there is also a large Francophone minority – mostly of Acadian origin. • • • • • • • • • • • • Origin of the name New Brunswick was named in 1784 to honour the reigning British monarch, King George III, who was also Duke of Brunswick. Population (2006): 749,200 Area: Land – 72,090 km 2Fresh water – 1,350 km 2Total – 73,440 km 2 Capital: Fredericton Date of entry into Confederation: July 1, 1867 History The area now known as New Brunswick was originally inhabited by nations of the Algonquian linguistic group.

The relationship between the First Nations and the French was good from the start. The Mi’kmaq helped the French settlers, who became known as Acadians, adapt to the land. They also helped French troops launch raids on New England. The Acadians were the first Europeans to settle in present-day New Brunswick.

• • • • New Brunswick, situated in eastern The topography of New Brunswick consists mainly of rolling hills, with the New Brunswick's eastern and southern regions boast extensive coastal plains, which include the Acadian Peninsula, Chaleur Bay, and the Northumberland Strait. The province's climate varies due to its diverse geography. New Brunswick experiences a humid continental climate characterized by warm summers, cold winters, and ample precipitation. Coastal regions often have milder winters and cooler summers compared to inland areas. Forests, predominantly mixed-wood and softwood forests, cover approximately 85% of New Brunswick's landmass. The Acadian forest, a unique blend of northern hardwoods and boreal species, thrives in the province, providing habitats for various flora and fauna.New Brunswick hosts a vast network of rivers and lakes, with the Saint John River being the most prominent. This river traverses nearly 673 kilometers from its origin in Maine, flowing southward and eastward through the province before emptying into the Bay of Fundy. Other significant rivers include the Miramichi, the Restigouche, and the Petitcodiac. Lakes such as Grand Lake, Oromocto Lake, and the Chiputneticook Lakes contribute to the abundant freshwater resources of the province. The province's geological history includes rich deposits of base metals, potash, and natural gas. The mining industry, therefore, plays a significant role in New Brunswick's economy.
