Fredericton, Provincial capital city of New Brunswick, Canada

Fredericton extends along both sides of the Saint John River, with government buildings and educational institutions distributed across the urban landscape at 20 meters elevation.

The settlement transformed from an Acadian territory to a British administrative center in 1785, when United Empire Loyalists established the provincial capital.

The University of New Brunswick, established as King's College in 1828, maintains its position as the oldest English-language university in Canada through continuous operation.

The Fredericton International Airport connects the region to major Canadian cities while the local transit system operates multiple bus routes throughout the metropolitan area.

The Beaverbrook Art Gallery houses an extensive collection of British and Canadian paintings, including works from the personal collection of Lord Beaverbrook.
