CANADA - NEW BRUNSWICK

Populated by Indigenous peoples, this territory was settled by Europeans starting in the 17th century. It became part of Acadia, itself part of New France. Following numerous conflicts between England and France, Acadia became definitively British in 1763. The Acadians were deported en masse. In 1784, New Brunswick was officially created as a separate colony from Nova Scotia. In 1867, it joined the Canadian Confederation..
