Fredericton’s History

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

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.

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.

National Historic Site

BARRACKS SQUARE

ocated 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 for tour times). Produced in 1985 to honour Fredericton’s 200th birthday as Capital, two local artists - Mrs. Gertrude Duffie and Dr. Ivan H. Crowell created 27 colourful tapestries depicting Fredericton’s history based on Dr. W. Austin Squires’ book "The Last 200 Years". The City Hall Gallery on the main floor offers frequently changing exhibitions of local art, and is open Monday-Friday, 8:15am4:30pm. A Visitor Information Centre operates from mid-May to the end of October in the front lobby. 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.

BARRACKS SQUARE 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.

3 The New Brunswick College of Craft and Design and the NBCCD Gallery

ext to the Justice Building, located on Queen St. in the Historic Garrison District is the campus of the New Brunswick College of Craft and Design (NBCCD). A designated centre of creative and artistic

excellence, NBCCD is unique in Canada with its focus on craft and design programming. Award winning faculty, students and graduates contribute significantly to the high quality of artistic practice and creative innovation in New Brunswick and throughout Atlantic Canada. Campus studios are also home to culture and craft workshops delivered as part of the edVentures Fredericton summer program (www.edventures.ca). An exciting campus renewal initiative has already generated new evening classes, postgraduate program international partnerships – and an expansion into the historic Soldiers’ Barracks.

5 The Guard House

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.

4 Soldiers’ Barracks & The Barracks Fine Craft Shops

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

BARRACKS SQUARE

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. English and French tours available July & August. Hours vary. Free Summer Concerts every Wednesday at 12pm and Guard House Theatre daily at 4:30pm July & August. 506-460-2129

The Beaverbrook Legacy Lord Beaverbrook (1879-1964) 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.

SELF GUIDED WALKING TOUR

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.

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 self-supporting 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.

16 The Beaverbrook Art Gallery “It may be that I am recalled chiefly as the builder and founder of an art gallery. The labour of my age may prove more lasting than the strident achievements of youth or the aggressive toil of middle life … The eyes of youth, falling upon these walls, may draw from them an impulse to create and emulate.” - Lord Beaverbrook

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.

group of Loyalist 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 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, who was born in Fredericton and 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. Wilmot’s pipe organ is opus 2049 of Casavant Frères, dedicated in 1951, and restored in 20002001.

his 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. Self Guided Tours MondayFriday, 9am-4:30pm.

hen 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. Tours are available June to August; Monday to Friday from 9am-1pm and 1:30-5pm. 506-451-0630; www.parishchurch.ca

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.

It was here that Lieutenant Governor, Sir Arthur Hamilton Gordon, worked with pro-confederation advocates in the Canada’s, as well as New Brunswick and Nova Scotia, to bring about our entry into Confederation. The 11-acre site was formerly the location of the 17th Century Acadian settlement known as Sainte-Anne. It was here that the trading firm of Baptiste et Martel associés was established in 1692.

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.

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.

Carleton Park is located on the city’s trail network, North Riverfront Trail, making it an ideal destination from the Lighthouse on The Green and across the Bill Thorpe Walking Bridge. Originally in the old Village of Gibson, the park was developed after the Town of Devon was amalgamated with the City of Fredericton in 1945. In 1888, the area was used as the site for unloading granite to build the first train bridge across the St. John River in Fredericton. Following the Gibson Fire in 1893, the area was used for 50 years by a succession of lumber mills.

National Historic District

s one of Canada’s best preserved examples of a 19th-century mill town, Marysville, just 10 km from the centre of Fredericton, was designated a National Historic District by the Historic Sites and Monuments Board of Canada. A big brick cotton mill dominates Marysville, now a part of Fredericton. Its streets are lined with rows of brick workers’ tenements, elegant managers’ homes, stores, and churches. Here, 19th century industrial and social structures come to life. What began as a

modest sawmill village on the Nashwaak River became a booming, prosperous town through the genius and foresight of Alexander ‘Boss’ Gibson. The cotton mill operated profitably well into the 1940’s, essentially employing most of the town’s population. However, the end of the war brought foreign competition and the mill was forced to close in 1970’s. The Cotton Mill was designated a National Historic Site in 1986 and now houses Government of New Brunswick offices. 2012 marks the 150th anniversary of the arrival of Alexander ‘Boss’ Gibson and the creation of what we know today as Marysville. Special events will take place throughout the year to commemorate this anniversary. Visit http://marysvilledays. webs.com for more information.

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 St. John River adults.

The St. John's 400km of inspiration has been traveled widely for thousands of years, first as part of the Maliseet Trail, then by Samuel de Champlain in 1604 and the first European explorers, and later as the Grand Communication Route to Upper Canada. During the War of 1812, Canada's Most Storied River played a central role as more than 500 men of the 104th Foot Regiment made an epic winter march up the frozen St. John in 1813 to defend the emerging nation.
