Fredericton’s History
16
Our City of Stately Elms owes its life to the mighty St. 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 became the provincial capital. The founding of King’s College in 1785 coincided with the renaming of the settlement to “Frederick’s Town”, in honour of the second son of King George III of the United Kingdom. From this name came the present “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. 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 St. 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.

About the building The old City Hall, which once included the city office, council chamber, magistrate’s office, jail, farmers’ market and opera house, was erected in Phoenix Square in 1876. 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. Freddie, “the little nude dude” as he is affectionately called, sits on top of the fountain. Look for the original Freddie, older than the Statue of Liberty, in City Hall. 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 the summer of 1977. Now Fredericton had a modern facility for civic administration in a building that retained the integrity and character that is so much a part of the city’s history. Open daily Mid-May through the end of October. Scheduled tours: English tours daily at 9:30am and 3:30pm; French tours daily at 9am and 3pm. By appointment for remainder of the year. Special events take place from time to time in the council chambers, which may result in public tours being cancelled. Groups are asked to book ahead. 506-460-2129; www.tourismfredericton.ca

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.

5 The Guard House
4 Soldiers’ Barracks & The Barracks Fine Craft Shops
A
little further down on Queen St., the old Soldiers’ Barracks sits almost 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 say 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, with no loss of men. Look for special events taking place throughout the year to
commemorate the 200th anniversary of this historic march. Don’t set your watch by the sundial outside the east wall of the Soldiers’ Barracks. Although it is a faithful reconstruction of the original sundial which told the time to the citizens of Fredericton in the 19th and early 20th centuries and accurately displays local apparent solar time (LAST), this differs by up to 16 minutes from local mean solar time (LMST). The lower level of the Barracks houses several craft shops, where the artisans create and sell their wares. English and French tours available from interpreters at the adjacent Guard House in July & August. Hours vary. 506-460-2129. The Barracks Fine Craft Shops located on the lower level of the building are open daily June to September. 506-460-2837
o 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 1828-1869 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 seven 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 five enlarged cells, barred windows and an escape-proof ventilation system. The cell block reveals conditions as they were in 1848. Don’t miss the Fredericton Fencibles as they take to the porch of the Guard House with lively theatre and song, daily at 4:30pm during July & August.

N

This is the only remaining wooden structure of the original four to be found in the Historic Garrison District. It was built in 1832 to house military weapons and ammunition for the Royal New Brunswick Regiment. In 1882, a rear addition renovated the building for use as a Military Hospital. It has also been used as a liquor warehouse, temperance hall, and caretaker’s residence for the adjacent armouries.

native son of New Brunswick”. His legacy to Fredericton includes the Beaverbrook Art Gallery, The Playhouse and 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. Beaverbrook’s Canadian correspondence and many of the books from his personal collection can be found in the Harriet Irving Library, located on the UNB campus. 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 (18791964) born William Maxwell Aitken in Maple, Ontario, was raised in Newcastle, (now Miramichi) New Brunswick. In 1910, he went to England and allied himself with Andrew Bonar Law, the only Canadian who ever became 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 served Britain most notably as Minister of Aircraft Production during World War II. In addition to various political appointments, 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, in recognition of his importance to the province, the provincial Legislature declared him “a

he 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 deck of the Lighthouse is a perfect place to enjoy a refreshment on a sunny day, overlooking the beautiful St. John River. At one time, there were over 30 lighthouses along the St. John River. Now due to the buoy system of channel marking, very few are needed, and those that are still required have been automated. The light at the top of the Lighthouse is fully functional.

he Green is a 5 km riverfront pathway system stretching along the St. 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. A pedway connects downtown Fredericton and the Historic Garrison District to the pathway at the old Carleton St. Bridge piers. 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 visitors arriving in the capital by boat. These services include a visitor dock with secure access, dumping station, electrical hook-ups to 30 Amps, and water. A Port Warden is on duty daily during June, July & August, and on weekends in May & September. For information on the wharf, contact Capital City Boat Club at info@capitalcityboatclub.com

erving 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 selfsupporting spiral staircase. The Chamber reflects the taste of the late Victorians. The wallpaper is Japanesque; the oriental-style carpet, commissioned in England, is in traditional green; and the chandeliers are made of brass with crystal prisms. 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.

About the building Built in 1900, the three-storey 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. It has been called Crocket House since the 1930’s when the Dr. William Crocket family resided there. In 1989, it was renovated for use as the gallery. The Coach House is the home of the Calithumpians and the starting point of the Haunted Hikes. Haunted Hikes take place July 2 to September 1, $14/adult & $9/child. 506-457-1975; www.calithumpians.com

T
he Fredericton Boyce Farmers Market fronts on George St., and the grounds stretch to Regent St. Open every Saturday morning, the market is the liveliest, most colourful spot in town! The Fredericton Farmers Market was named one of the ten best Farmers Markets in Canada (Canadian Geographic Traveller – May, 2009). The Market is a cornucopia of meats, vegetables, baked goods, maple products and ethnic foods; a treasure-trove of art, crafts, jewellery, and flowers. 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. Saturdays only; 6am-1pm. 506-451-1815; www.frederictonfarmersmarket.ca
FAMOUS FREDERICTONIANS
"Growing up in Fredericton was a real dream! Whenever I go back to visit I am always reminded of why it is such a gem. I always make a trip to the Fredericton Boyce Farmers Market for some of the best food you will eat and the friendliest people you will meet. Taking a walk along the river and on the walking bridge with friends is another part of being home for me. And of course visiting the campus where I went to school: St. Thomas University. I was married in Fredericton in April 2011 and the ceremony was in the beautiful Beaverbrook Art Gallery. Friends and family came from all over the world and for most of them it was their first time visiting Fredericton. They still talk about its beauty, its charm, and its warmth.” Anna Silk, Actress, Lost Girl
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.

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 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 building, erected in the mid -1840’s, was replaced in 1965 by the present modern structure. Two chapels honour The Sacred Heart of Jesus, and Mary, the Mother of Perpetual Help; its 14 stations of the cross are hand carved in linden wood. Bishop Dollard’s Episcopal chair occupies a place of honour at St. Dunstan’s, and a moving painting of “The Crucifixion”, a consecration gift to Bishop Dollard from his friends in Quebec, still hangs there too.

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. 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.

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, wading pool, and is a perfect spot for a picnic. 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

In the winter, visitors can skate on the outdoor rink, slide down the hills and cross-country ski on groomed trails. The park is also home to the Odell Arboretum and New Brunswick Species Collection. Since no natural resource is more present in New Brunswick than the trees that make up our great forests, it is especially fitting that the province’s capital city features an arboretum containing all the tree species native to New Brunswick. The 2.8 km arboretum trail winds through the woods past 41 separate sites where individual tree species grow naturally. The arboretum was built in 1985 at the suggestion of Senator Muriel Ferguson, who thought the creation of the arboretum would be an appropriate way for Fredericton to mark its bicentennial as the capital city.
