Like many other cities in the province of New Brunswick, the growth of Fredericton rose from land compensations given to United Empire Loyalists after the American Revolution.

When New Brunswick separated from Nova Scotia in 1784, the area these Loyalists settled in - Ste. Anne's Point - became the provincial capital, winning out over present day Saint John. The locale was renamed Frederick's Town, later shorted to Fredericton.

Fredericton is a city of just over 70,000 people and is known for its historic Garrison District, now home to a Changing of the Guard ceremony. Original settlers were the United Empire Loyalists who came here after the American Revolution. The city has an eclectic mix of architecture spanning more than two centuries, many of these buildings being churches. Twelve of New Brunswick’s 65 National Historic Sites lie within the Fredericton city boundary.

The Legislative Assembly Building is an architectural gem. Really worth a visit and looks beautiful lit up at night. Can recommend.
