New Brunswick Cottages and Hotels- A History of New Brunswick

Settlers primarily from Britain and France arrived in New Brunswick in the early 1600s. They were met by a friendly Aboriginal population at the Bay of Fundy who helped the survive in those first years. The new settlers were led by Samuel de Champlain, a French navigator. The land became known as the Land of Acadie or Acadia. Control of the province changed hands several times over the years as the British and French did battle for various and sundry reasons. At one point some 5000 Acadians were expelled from the province because of the on going hostilities in the homelands. Some of the settlers went further into the coastline settling along the Gulf of St. Lawrence and Chaleur Bay. Today, this area is known as the Acadian Peninsula.

More settlers showed up during the American Revolution against the British in the late 1700s. These settlers built homes in Saint John and became Canada's first city in 1785. Later settlers included the Scottish and Irish, driven from their homelands by politics and a potato famine. Present day New Brunswick features a multicultural mix of Aboriginal, French, British, Scottish and Irish tradition. More than 730,000 people live in the area, making it the largest Canadian maritime province. It is Canada's only official bilingual province, with eight distinct communities, including Cambellton, Bathurst, Dieppe, Edmunston, Fredericton, Miramichi, Moncton and Saint John.

Bathurst- natural saltwater beaches, whale-watching, golf and spa getaways.

Cambellton-offers Sugarloaf Provincial Park, with its panoramic view of the city of Restigouche River, Chaleur Bay, and Gaspe Peninsula in Quebec. The Salmon Plaza Monument is a must see with its larger than life replica of an Atlantic Salmon.

Dieppe-features the largest urban shopping area east of Quebec City. The area is renown for golf, hiking and sandy beach adventures. Dieppe is also where you will find the Crystal Palace Amusement Park, Canada's only indoor-outdoor amusement park on the Atlantic.

Fredericton- is famous for walking, paddling and other outdoor activities in and around nearby urban areas.

Edmunston-Those preferring to camp rather than stay at a New Brunswick hotel or motel should check out the De La Republique Provincial Park, located here. It offers walking, jogging, cycling trails, volleyball courts and horseshoe pits, as well as a museum and botanical gardens.

Miramichi, Moncton and Saint John offer a host of similar activities. Book a suite at a nearby New Brunswick hotel or motel and ask your front desk clerk for information.
