Coastal New Brunswick Area History

The rocks along the bay of Fundy, shaped by the pounding of the tides, date back millions of years and are some of the oldest formations in the world. The diversity in the history along the shores of the Bay of Fundy is as dramatic as these giant tides. The region is a tapestry of Aboriginal, English, French, Irish and Loyalists descendants. Each has contributed to the culture, architecture, traditions, arts and even the place names in the county. For more than 100 years the Charlotte Coastal Region has drawn people from all over the world who have chosen this area as a place to spend their summers out of the heat and humidity. More recently, the area attracts more and more retirees to this beautiful and casual community. Visit one of many museums or historic sites while you are in the region!
