Fredericton’s History
Our City of Stately Elms owes its life to the mighty Saint
John River. The earliest travellers on the great river were
the Maliseet and Mi’kmaq who hunted, fished, and grew
crops along their “Woolastook” river.
Off and on for over 100 years, the French and English
fought for ownership of Nova Scotia, which included the
area known today as the City of Fredericton. In 1732 the
French Acadians fled British forces and travelled to the area
where Government House stands today. They called their
community St. Anne’s Point. By 1758 the British re-gained
ownership of Nova Scotia and expelled the Acadians from
St. Anne’s. Although the English swept through the area and
chased out most of the French, they could not successfully
settle St. Anne’s Point until 1768, as they encountered
resistance from the Natives.
In 1783, United Empire Loyalists settled in St. Anne’s Point
after the American Revolution. This year is regarded as the
founding of the City of Fredericton. About 2,000 Loyalists
settled in the area, including several army regiments.
Surrounded by deep snow, bitter cold, canvas tents and a
scarcity of supplies, many perished.
Surviving Loyalists petitioned Governor Parr in Halifax
to make the area north of the Bay of Fundy a separate
province. In the following year, New Brunswick became
a separate colony from Nova Scotia and St. Anne’s Point
In 1845, although the population
was not technically large enough,
Queen Victoria named Fredericton
a Cathedral City and a crew went
to work on the Cathedral, the
spire of which still dominates
the Fredericton skyline. This
allowed Fredericton to achieve city
status and the City was officially
incorporated by the provincial
legislature on March 30, 1848.
Meanwhile, Fredericton’s first
inhabitants were established in a
permanent Maliseet settlement
now known as the St. Mary’s
Reserve on the north side of the
Saint John River in 1847.
Early Fredericton businesses
included mills, a canoe factory,
tanneries, carriage and wagon
manufacturers, breweries and
broom factories.
In the 20th century, the city’s
industries gave way to universities,
reinforcing Fredericton’s education
and cultural centric feel. In 1945,
Gibson (presently Devon) was
amalgamated into the city. In
1973, the city celebrated their
125th anniversary of incorporation;
Fredericton amalgamated
a number of surrounding
communities, doubling its area and
population.
The people and the events that
changed Fredericton from a
settlement in the wilderness into
the educational and administrative
centre of New Brunswick have
also shaped a unique cultural
landscape. Along our tree-lined
streets dwell gifted artists and
artisans as well as brilliant
scientists and engineers. They
keep Fredericton the vibrant
community it is.
FREDERICTON’S HISTORY
Welcome to Fredericton
The British Government was
quick to approve the capital town
and Fredericton became home
to several military regiments.
The Infantry School Corps (later
the Royal Canadian Regiment)
was born here in December,
1883. The Historic Garrison
District downtown is a tribute to
the army’s importance to early
Fredericton.

Clockworks &
Bicentennial
Tapestries
(397 Queen St.)
National Historic Site
Located at the corner of Queen
and York Sts., Fredericton’s
City Hall is the oldest City Hall
still in use in the Maritime
Provinces. Visitors to the
building can tour the Council
Chamber to view the restored
clockworks and a series
of tapestries which are on
permanent display. (See below
About the building
The old City Hall, which was
erected in Phoenix Square
in 1876, once included the
city office, council chamber,
magistrate’s office, jail,
farmers’ market and opera
house. The tower clock, its
eight-foot dials, copper hands
and reliable chimes have been
keeping downtown businesses
and customers on time ever
since. The fountain in front of
City Hall was constructed in
1885. Freddy, “the little nude
dude” as he is affectionately
called, sits on top of the
fountain. Look for the original
Freddy, older than the Statue
of Liberty, in City Hall. In 2013,
the fountain was restored to
its original 3-tier design and
surrounding Phoenix Square
was re-designed to make for
a more inviting place for our
visitors and community to visit
and enjoy.
With the growing city, City
Hall became crowded and
plans were made for an
addition. Architects carefully
designed the addition to
make it as compatible as
possible with the original City
Hall. Construction began in
September 1975 and it was
completed in 1977.
A Visitor Information Centre,
in the front lobby, is open
daily mid–May through to
Canadian Thanksgiving. See
hours on Page 13 of this
guide. Scheduled tours of
the Tapestries are available
May 23 (Victoria Day) until
October 10 (Thanksgiving):
English tours daily at 3:30pm;
French tours daily at 3pm. By
appointment for remainder of
the year. Groups are asked to

About the building
In 1827, a 34 x 37 foot
Military Hospital with
four six-bed wards was
constructed in stone on the
site now partly occupied by
the Justice Building. In 1875,
the hospital and accessory
building were removed to
permit construction of the
Provincial Normal School.
That building was destroyed
by fire in 1929, but was
rebuilt on the same site.
The original annex and front
entrance pillars survived
the fire and can still be seen
today. The annex later housed
the Model School which was
an integral part of teacher
training.
The building served as part
of Fredericton High School
from 1965 to 1970. It was
remodeled to house law
courts and reopened as the
Justice Building in 1975.

Soldiers’ Barracks

(463 Queen St.)
A little further down, the old
Soldiers’ Barracks sits almostt
on the corner of Carleton St.,
with its back to Queen St.
The Soldiers’ Barracks is an
1827, three and a half storey
stone structure built by the
British Army to accommodate
more than 200 British soldiers.
Life was crowded – 19 soldiers
to a room. They slept on iron
beds, while wooden pegs and
shelves held their belongings.
A table and wooden benches
were the only other furniture.
The 22nd Cheshire Regiment
was stationed here from 1866
to 1869 and all ranks said they
looked back on Fredericton
as an ideal station. A bronze
plaque honours the 104th
Regiment. Remarkably, as
reinforcements for the War
of 1812, six of its companies
made a 1,128 km, 52-day
march to Quebec and then to
Kingston, Ontario, between
February and April of 1813.
Don’t set your watch by the
sundial outside the east wall
of the Soldiers’ Barracks.

Although it is a faithful

centuries and accurately

To find the 1828 Guard House,
turn left on Carleton St. The
restored Orderly Room in the
Guard House, with its nominal
rolls and leave passes, looks
much as it did in 1829 when
it was first occupied by the 1st
Battalion of the Rifle Brigade.
A disastrous fire destroyed the
original Guard House, cells and
9 other buildings.
The Guard Room was home
to the 12-man Main Guard. A
private soldier in an infantry
regiment of 1828 to 1869 could
expect to be detailed for either
Night Guard or Day Guard at
least twice a month. When
not pacing his beat, he was
permitted to rest by reclining
in his full kit on a Guard bed of
hard planks, covered with a thin
straw pallaise (mattress). The
Guard Room looks as it did in
1866, when the 15th Regiment
used the muskets, uniforms
and equipment on display.
The cell block originally
contained 7 cells – windowless
stone and brick cubicles with
an air-hole of about 10 inches
diameter in the outer wall.
In 1847, the cell block was
modified to contain 5 enlarged
cells, barred windows and
an escape-proof ventilation
system. The cell block reveals
conditions as they were in
1848.

was made of wood but it
was gradually rebuilt with
stone. The current structure
was completed in 1853.

Lord Beaverbrook Statue
A bronze statue of Lord
Beaverbrook, New Brunswick’s
great benefactor, is at the
centre of Officers’ Square.
Unveiled on August 28, 1957,
it was erected through the
generous contributions of the
children of the province.
The Beaverbrook Legacy
Lord Beaverbrook (1879 –
1964) born William Maxwell
Aitken, was raised in
Newcastle, (now Miramichi)
New Brunswick. In 1910, he
went to England and allied
himself with Andrew Bonar
Law the only Canadian to
ever become Prime Minister
of Great Britain. In 1916,
Maxwell Aitken received the
title of Lord Beaverbrook,
complete with a coat of arms
designed by Rudyard Kipling.
Beaverbrook was Minister
of Aircraft Production during
World War II, held various
political appointments,
and he built a publishing
empire based on the Daily
Express newspaper. He is
best remembered in New
Brunswick for his many gifts
to the province and to the
University of New Brunswick
(UNB). In 1954, the provincial
Legislature declared him “a
native son of New Brunswick”.
His legacy to Fredericton
includes the Beaverbrook Art
Gallery, The Playhouse, the
Lady Beaverbrook Rink, the
Lady Beaverbrook Residence,
the Lady Beaverbrook
Gymnasium, and many other
buildings on the UNB campus
stand as a testament to him
and his family.

At one time, there were
over 30 lighthouses along
the Saint John River. Now
due to the buoy system of
channel marking, very few are

The Lighthouse, situated
on The Green in downtown
Fredericton, has been a
landmark since 1989. It was
built as a visitor area for the
Pioneer Princess riverboat,
a vessel that was operated
by a local business man.
The Lighthouse has been reinvented as Fredericton’s only
local craft beer garden and
BBQ pit restaurant. Serving
great local draught beer
and locally produced meat
on the open air BBQ. It is an
experience not to be missed!

“The Green”
The Green is a 5 km riverfront
pathway system stretching
along the Saint John River in
the heart of downtown. It is
linked with over 88 km of trails
throughout the city.
Riverfront Walkway
As beautiful and tranquil as a
park, the riverfront walkway
stretches along The Green.
Beginning at the Delta Hotel,
it stretches to the Princess
Margaret Bridge, and boasts a
spectacular view. The pathway
is divided into four sections.
The first stretches from the
Delta Hotel to Smythe St.,
through the area originally
settled as St. Anne’s Point.
The section from Smythe St.
to Lighthouse on The Green,
was named Limpert Lane in
October 1997, in honour of
Fredericton Olympic Silver
Medalist, Marianne Limpert.
The next section, from the
Lighthouse to Morell Park at
the lower end of Waterloo
Row, is the original “Green”.
The final segment, stretching
from Morell Park, past the
Loyalist Cemetery to the
Princess Margaret Bridge, is
known as the Salamanca Trail.
Regent Street Wharf
The Regent Street Wharf
offers a variety of services to

Public Art: “Memoria Address” by
Stephen Cruise.
Installed in 2013, this piece’s noticeable
features include a representative balsam
fir cone in polished Bahama Blue granite
with gold-leaf detailing anchored among
228 polished green granite trees, all
arranged on a concrete and tile base
outline of the glacial water level of the
Saint John River from 10,000 years ago.
This signature work incorporates many
elements which reference a presence
from the past, revealed upon a closer look. Commissioned by the City of Fredericton
with Downtown Fredericton Inc.
Serving as the seat of government in New Brunswick
since 1882, the present day building replaced the old
Province Hall, which was destroyed by fire in 1880.
The main entrance opens into a vestibule and
hallway hung with portraits of former Lieutenant
Governors. Beyond is a large self-supporting spiral
staircase. The Chamber reflects the taste of the late
Victorians.
Next to the Legislature is a modest stone building,
the ground floor of which was built in 1816 as an
office for the Provincial Secretary. The upper floors
were added in 1869. It is the oldest surviving public
building in Fredericton and houses offices relating to
the Legislative Assembly.
When the Legislature is not in session, you may
visit the Assembly Chamber and take photographs.
When the Legislature is in session, you may sit in
the public gallery and watch the proceedings. Late–

“It may be that I am recalled

founder of an art gallery. The

The eyes of youth, falling upon

About the building
Built in 1900, the threestorey wood frame house is
predominately Queen Anne
Revival. The 19th century saw
Fredericton house designs
incorporating a blend of
popular structural modes in a
“picturesque eclectic” style.
The Crocket house embodies
these with its circular tower,
bay windows and ornate
interior appointments.
27
It has been called Crocket
House since the 1920’s
when Dr. Ashburnham Pierce
Crocket and his wife Alma
Mary Gibson, resided there.
In 1989, it was renovated for
use as the gallery. The Coach

America (1845 – 1853)
to adhere to the exacting
standards of the mid-19th
century Gothic Revival in
church architecture. Modeled
after the medieval parish
church of St. Mary’s at
Snettisham, England, built
according to the express
wishes of Bishop John Medley,
and designed by Frank Wills
and William Butterfield, the
Cathedral was declared a
National Historic Site in 1983.
The cathedral cornerstone was laid in 1845,
construction was complete by 1853, and it was
consecrated that year by Bishop John Medley,
first Bishop of Fredericton under whose
auspices it was built. His exquisite cenotaph is
at the east end of the cathedral, surrounded by
the many fine examples of woodworking and
stained glass art that add depth and character
to this awesome structure.
Although not on public display, the Cathedral
also contains the letters patent of Queen
Victoria, appointing the Rev. John Medley
as Bishop of Fredericton, and constituting
the Town of Fredericton to be a city. It also
possesses a Royal Bible, which was presented
by Albert, Prince of Wales (later King Edward
VII).

Fredericton Boyce Farmers Market was named

The Market is a cornucopia of meats,
vegetables, baked goods, maple products and
ethnic foods; a treasure-trove of art, crafts,
jewellery, and flowers.
(665 George St.)
The Market pre-dates the city’s founding. In
1785, residents petitioned the governor to
create a townsite – a prerequisite for holding a
market. The Market building was constructed
in 1951. A bequest of $40,000 from the
estate of Walter W. Boyce, a prominent local
businessman, got the project off the ground.
The York County Council paid the rest of the
construction costs. The Market houses 217
stalls and outdoor vendors.

Father Michael Sweeney,
from the Diocese of Quebec,
was the first Roman Catholic
missionary to Fredericton. He
purchased property on Regent
St. and built a small chapel in
1824. On September 30, 1842,
the Diocese of New Brunswick
was created and the Rt. Rev.
William Dollard, V.G., was
named its bishop by Pope
Gregory XVI.
The small chapel was moved
to the rear of the lot and
used as a school and in
1845, Bishop Dollard began
construction of a new St.
Dunstan’s Church. Upon
completion it became the
cathedral and Episcopal Seat
of the diocese – the first
Roman Catholic Cathedral
built in the new Diocese of
New Brunswick.
The British government made
a donation to the church
with the understanding that
British soldiers stationed in
Fredericton were to have
seats in the church free of
charge.

The Old Public Burial
Ground
(500 Brunswick St.)
From St. Dunstan’s, cross
Regent St. at the corner
of Brunswick St. In the Old
Town Platt, is one of the
most historically important
cemeteries in New Brunswick.
The Old Public Burial Ground
is the final resting place for
many of the Loyalist families
who founded New Brunswick,
as well as its first clergy,
judges, and government
officials. It has graves dating
back to 1787. They lie with
the families of the English
governors, members of the
British regiments stationed
in Fredericton, and the
early settlers from the
British Isles from whom
many Frederictonians are
descended.
This cemetery was used
for more than 100 years. A
detailed map of the cemetery
is on display. Open to the
public from 8am – 8pm daily.
Walk north on Carleton St. to
the corner of King St. to the
Wilmot United Church.
A group of Scottish soldiers,
all Loyalists, formed the
Fredericton Methodist Society in
1791. The congregation outgrew
one chapel, lost another by
fire, and built the church that
stands today in 1852. It is one
of the oldest buildings in regular
use in the city, and the last of
the great wooden churches,
which dominated the skyline
of 19th century Fredericton.
From 1852 to 1974, a unique
wooden hand, carved by
Edward Charters, topped the
tallest spire in Fredericton. The
hand, designated in 2007 as a
Fredericton Heritage Icon, is
displayed in the sanctuary.
In 1925, the Fredericton
Methodist Church entered the
United Church of Canada and
adopted the name ‘Wilmot’ in
honour of its leading layman,
Lemuel Allan Wilmot, the first
native–born New Brunswicker
to be named the Lieutenant
Governor of NB.
Among the church’s stained
glass windows is one by the
William Morris Studio installed
in 1913, and in recent years
re-identified by researchers and
deemed to be a valuable find
in Canada. The church’s décor
was planned in 1948 by famous
Canadian artist, the late Alex
Colville. Wilmot’s pipe organ is
opus 2049 of Casavant Frères,
dedicated in 1951, and restored
in 2000-2001.

Baptist Church
(161 York St.)
This congregation is
descended from the 13
members who organized the
first Baptist Church in the area
on January 1, 1814. By 1840,
the congregation had grown
large enough to need a new
church. That wooden structure
built on this site and dedicated
in 1840, was destroyed by fire
in 1882.
That same year, the
congregation laid the
cornerstone of the fine NeoGothic church that stands
today. Built of purple-blue
freestone quarried in New
Brunswick, it boasts a 60-foot
tower with a spire that extends
a further eight feet and a
beautiful tracery window over
the main entrance. The Gothic
decoration of the semicircular
sanctuary and balcony is
bathed in the glow of several
stained-glass windows.

St. Paul’s United
Church
(224 York St.)
The history of St. Paul’s
United Church begins in 1829
when a public meeting was
held to discuss the building
of a Presbyterian Church in
Fredericton. In 1830 the first
worship service was held
and in 1832, the church was
incorporated.
When St. Paul’s celebrated its
Golden Jubilee in 1882, plans
were under way for a new
building. Four years later, on
January 10, 1886, the new St.
Paul’s was dedicated and is
the church building used today.
Although the union of
Methodist, Congregational and
Presbyterian churches had
been discussed since 1912,
it was not until 1925 that the
Act of Union came into effect
and St. Paul’s became a United
Church of Canada.
The character-defining
elements the church are its
architectural style – High
Victorian Gothic with soaring
corner tower and tall spire, its
stonework (random limestone
walling and dressed sandstone
to form quoins, window and
door surrounds, copings, and
band courses), copper roof and
stained glass windows.
The three-keyboard organ was
installed in 1947 and dedicated

St. Anne’s Chapel
of Ease
(245 Westmorland St.)
“A place of worship with
free seats”.
When Bishop John Medley
came from England in 1845,
he brought architect Frank
Wills with him. He set this
young man to work to design
a church that would, in the
Bishop’s words, “provide
a place of worship with
free seats for the poor and
coloured people of the parish
who lived on the outskirts of
Fredericton”. Consecrated on
March 18, 1847, St. Anne’s
Chapel of Ease became
Canada’s first free church.

FREDERICTON SOUTH
DRIVING TOUR
About the building
Bishop Medley believed that
Gothic architecture and
Christianity were inseparable,
and that the chapel’s pointedarch design and stonework
were synonymous with
morality. The sandstone on the
Chapel exterior, the hardstone
buttresses, and the trim
came from New Brunswick;
as did the butternut that was
used for most of the interior
woodwork. From almost 20
metres (64 feet) in the air,
three bells have been calling
people to worship for over
a century and a half. The
Whitechapel Bell Foundry in
London, England cast these
bells, the largest weighing 532
pounds. In 2010, St. Anne’s
Chapel of Ease was added to
Fredericton’s local Historic
Places Register.
As you leave downtown
Fredericton, take Queen St.
to Northumberland St. Go
one block, and turn right onto
King St. then drive one block
to the intersection of King
and Smythe Sts. Proceed

are now on Woodstock Road.
The group of buildings on the
right form the Victoria Health
Centre. In behind, you will
find the Small Craft Aquatic
Centre. Just past the Victoria
Health Centre you will see
Government House on the
right.
Approximate driving time for
this tour: 30 minutes.
The Lych-gate
The low stone wall that
surrounds the chapel is
interrupted by a lych-gate.
The word “lych” comes from
an old English word meaning
“corpse”. These roofed
structures, which date back
to sixteenth-century England,
were designed to protect the
coffin from inclement weather
during funeral services. This
particular gate is believed
to be one of only a few such
gates remaining in North
America.

Site, built in 1828, is ‘New Brunswick’s
Ceremonial Home” – a place of history,
culture, art and excellence. It is the official residence and place of
work for New Brunswick’s Lieutenant-Governor.
Open to the public regularly, Government House is a museum,
gallery, heritage site and community resource. It offers restored
staterooms with historic furnishing, a modern gallery space,
meeting rooms and an interpretive centre – all on 11 acres,

It hosts some of the most prestigious events in New Brunswick:
honours and awards for excellence, medal presentations,
volunteer recognitions, concerts, lectures, and events related to
the Lieutenant-Governor’s public priorities. Many public events
are held annually.
About the building
This important National and Provincial Historic site served as
the official residence for 14 of New Brunswick’s Lieutenant
Governors, until closing in 1894. During the years leading up to
Confederation, Government House was “centre-stage” for the
frustrations, fears, and intrigues, which culminated in the union
of British North America. It was here that Lieutenant Governor,
Sir Arthur Hamilton Gordon, worked with pro-confederation

Wilmot Park. Once the gardens
of Government House, it is
beautifully landscaped with
a multitude of perennial and
shrub beds. The park boasts
immaculate lawns, walking
trails (perimeter groomed in
the winter for cross country
skiing), lighted tennis courts,
a basketball court, lawn
bowling, Stepping Stone Senior
Centre, a gazebo, children’s
playground, sun shelter, and
is a perfect spot for a picnic.
The new Wilmot Park Outdoor
Aquatic Facility is being
constructed and is expected to
open late summer 2016.
The title deed of the 12-acre
park was originally given
to City Council in 1895, by
Loyalist descendant, Edward
Wilmot, as a gift for “the
commonality of Fredericton.”
Years before, in 1860, there
was a “rush to ready the
Pleasure Ground,” as it was
fittingly named by the citizens,
for the long-awaited arrival of
His Royal Highness, the Prince
of Wales, later King Edward
VII, who was the first visit of
a “kingly personage” upon the
shores of New Brunswick.

It was completely restored and
re-opened in 1999, and has
since welcomed thousands of

But, there is more! The
scenery is spectacular; the
One of the largest
conservation Atlantic salmon
hatcheries in the world.
In the initial planning stages
of the Mactaquac hydro
project, fish collection and
salmon hatchery facilities
were established to protect
migrating fish whose path
would be blocked by the dam.
Salmon migrating up the Saint
John River are collected at
the dam and transported to
the hatchery. Approximately
900,000 juvenile salmon, from
the Saint John River and some
endangered inner Bay of Fundy
Rivers (iBoF) are raised at
the hatchery, of which about
600,000 are released as fry,
250,000 as fall parr and about
50,000 as one-year-old smolts
in the spring.
In the fall, captive-reared
adults are released primarily
in their rivers/tributaries of
origin: about 300 endangered
iBoF Atlantic salmon in iBoF
rivers and up to 2000 Saint
John River adults.
Visitors in late June and
July may be able to watch
hatchery staff measure, tag
and vaccinate adult salmon
in the sorting facility. The life
cycle of the Atlantic Salmon
and activities of the facility are
demonstrated through displays
and signage along the tour.
Guided tours are available
