Off and on forover 100 years,the French andEnglish foughtfor ownershipof NovaScotia, which

included thearea known today as the Cityof Fredericton. In 1732 theFrench Acadians fled Britishforces and travelled to the areawhere Government Housestands today. They called theircommunity St. Anne’s Point. By1758 the British re-gainedownership of Nova Scotia andexpelled the Acadians from St.Anne’s. Although the Englishswept through the area andchased out most of the French,they could not successfullysettle St. Anne’s Point until1768, as they encounteredresistance from the Natives.

In 1783, United EmpireLoyalists settled in St. Anne’sPoint after the AmericanRevolution. This year isregarded as the founding ofthe City of Fredericton. About2,000 Loyalists settled in thearea, including several armyregiments. Surrounded by deepsnow, bitter cold, canvas tentsand a scarcity of supplies, manyperished.

Surviving Loyalists petitionedGovernor Parr in Halifax tomake the area north of the Bayof Fundy a separate province.In the following year, NewBrunswick became a separatecolony from Nova Scotia andSt. Anne’s Point became theprovincial capital. The foundingof King’s College in 1785coincided with the renaming ofthe settlement to “Frederick’sTown”, in honour of thesecond son of King George IIIof the United Kingdom. Fromthis name came the present“Fredericton”.

The British Government wasquick to approve the capitaltown and Fredericton becamehome to several militaryregiments. The Infantry SchoolCorps (later the Royal CanadianRegiment) was born here in

December, 1883. The HistoricGarrison District downtown isa tribute to the army’simportance to earlyFredericton.

In 1845, although thepopulation was not technicallylarge enough, Queen Victorianamed Fredericton a CathedralCity and a crew went to workon the Cathedral, the spire ofwhich still dominates theFredericton skyline. Thisallowed Fredericton to achievecity status and the City wasofficially incorporated by theprovincial legislature on March30, 1848.

Meanwhile, Fredericton’s firstinhabitants were established ina permanent Maliseetsettlement now known as theSt. Mary’s Reserve on thenorth side of the St. John Riverin 1847.

Early Fredericton businessesincluded mills, a canoe factory,tanneries, carriage and wagonmanufacturers, breweries andbroom factories.

In the 20th century, the city’sindustries gave way touniversities, reinforcingFredericton’s education andcultural centric feel. In 1945,Gibson (presently Devon) wasamalgamated into the city. In1973, the city celebrated their125th anniversary ofincorporation; Frederictonamalgamated a number ofsurrounding communities,doubling its area andpopulation.

The people and the eventsthat changed Fredericton froma settlement in the wildernessinto the educational andadministrative centre of NewBrunswick have also shaped aunique cultural landscape.Along our tree-lined streetsdwell gifted artists and artisansas well as brilliant scientistsand engineers. They keepFredericton the vibrantcommunity it is.

They slept on ironbeds, while wooden pegs andshelves held their belongings.A table and wooden bencheswere the only other furniture.

The 22nd Cheshire Regimentwas stationed here from 1866to 1869 and all ranks say theylooked back on Fredericton asan ideal station. A bronzeplaque honours the 104thRegiment. Remarkably, asreinforcements for the war of1812, six of its companiesmade a 1,128 km, 52-daymarch to Quebec and then toKingston, Ontario, betweenFebruary and April of 1813,with no loss of men.

The Market pre-dates the city’sfounding. In 1785, residents petitionedthe governor to create a townsite - aprerequisite for holding a market. TheMarket building was constructed in1951. A bequest of $40,000 from theestate of Walter W. Boyce, a prominent local businessman, gotthe project off the ground. The York County Council paid therest of the construction costs. The Market houses 217 stalls andoutdoor vendors.

About the buildingBishop Medley believed thatGothic architecture andChristianity were inseparable,and that the chapel’s pointed-arch design and stoneworkwere synonymous withmorality. The sandstone on theChapel exterior, the hardstonebuttresses, and the trim camefrom New Brunswick; as didthe butternut that was usedfor most of the interiorwoodwork. From almost 20metres (64 feet) in the air,three bells have been callingpeople to worship for over acentury and a half. TheWhitechapel Bell Foundry inLondon, England cast thesebells, the largest weighing 532pounds. In 2010, St. Anne'sChapel of Ease was added toFredericton's local HistoricPlaces Register.

The Lych-gateThe low stone wall thatsurrounds the chapel isinterrupted by a lych-gate. Theword “lych” comes from anold English word meaning“corpse”. These roofedstructures, which date back tosixteenth-century England,were designed to protect thecoffin from inclement weatherduring funeral services. Thisparticular gate is believed to beone of only a few such gatesremaining in North America.
