New Brunswick Map

New Brunswick is one of Canada's three Maritime provinces. The provincial capital is Fredericton.

The province's name comes from the English and French translation for the city of Braunschweig in north Germany (and former duchy of the same name), the ancestral home of the Hanoverian King George III of Britain.

New Brunswick in Southern Victory

New Brunswick was a Canadian province. During 1838-39, a number of clashes known as the Arrostook War took place over the border between the US state of Maine and New Brunswick over the exact position of the border. The end result was the Webster–Ashburton Treaty, which was not to England's satisfaction.

In 1881, during the Second Mexican War, a combined British and Canadian Army crossed the border from New Brunswick and invaded Maine. The invasion had two purposes, to settle the Maine and New Brunswick border once and for all, and to humiliate US president Blaine in order to bring about a quick conclusion to the war. The US Army in the region was defeated and driven south losing the upper St.John and Aroostook River valleys. As part of the peace treaty, the US was forced to relinquish this territory to Canada, and it became part of New Brunswick.

In 1914, during the Great War, the US Army invaded New Brunswick, and in 1918, when Canada was annexed into the Union, the territory it had gained during the Second Mexican war was returned to Maine along with additional territory from New Brunswick.
