Local Information |
|
In 1692, Fredericton began as a French fur-trading fort at the point where the Nashwaak River drains into
the Saint John, but abandoned after a big flood. It was resettled again in 1732 by a group of French Acadians who began successful farming in the area. In 1758, after British Forces captured Louisburg, the British swept through the St. John River Valley, burning homes and expelling Acadians., resettling the area themselves. Ever since, its been both peaceful and prosperous.
