New Brunswick

 

a province in eastern Canada, located on the Atlantic coast. Area, 72,500 sq km; population, 635,000 (1971). About two-fifths of the populace is French Canadian. Its capital is Fredericton.

Some 57 percent of the populace is urban, and 39 percent live in industrial and fishing settlements. Local deposits of copper, nickel, lead, zinc, and silver are processed at a large complex of mining, metallurgical, and chemical enterprises in Bathurst. Major industries include cellulose and paper (particularly developed in Saint John), oil refining, foodstuffs, machine building (including shipbuilding), and woodworking. Shoes and construction materials are also produced, and there is commercial fishing. Agriculture is for the most part of local importance.

The first French settlement was established in New Brunswick in 1604, and the first English settlement in 1762. In 1784 the province became a separate colony of Great Britain. In 1867 it became part of the Dominion of Canada. Competition from Canada’s central regions has slowed the development of New Brunswick.
