where did the name new brunswick come from
New Brunswick After the American Revolution, about 10,000 loyalist refugees settled along the north shore of the Bay of Fundy,[11] commemorated in the province's motto, Spem reduxit ("hope restored"). In 1784 New Brunswick was partitioned from Nova Scotia, and that year saw its first elected assembly.[12] The colony was named New Brunswick in honour of George III, King of Great Britain, King of Ireland, and prince-elector of the Electorate of Brunswick-Lüneburg in what is now Germany.[13] In 1785 Saint John became Canada's first incorporated city.[14]
