“Woolastook”river.

Off and on forover 100years, theFrench andEnglish

fought for ownershipof Nova Scotia, which includedthe area known today as theCity of 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 School

Corps (later the RoyalCanadian Regiment) was bornhere in December, 1883. TheHistoric Garrison Districtdowntown is a tribute to thearmy’s importance 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.

Alittle further down onQueen St., the old

Soldiers’ Barracks sits almoston the corner of Carleton St.,with its back to Queen St.

The Soldiers’ Barracks is an1827, three and a half storeystone structure built by theBritish Army to accommodatemore than 200 British soldiers.Life was crowded - 19 soldiersto a room. 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.

St. The restored Orderly Roomin the Guard House, with itsnominal rolls and leave passes,looks much as it did in 1829when it was first occupied bythe 1st Battalion of the RifleBrigade. A disastrous firedestroyed the original GuardHouse, cells and 9 otherbuildings.

The Guard Room was home tothe 12-man Main Guard. Aprivate soldier in an infantryregiment of 1828-1869 couldexpect to be detailed for eitherNight Guard or Day Guard atleast twice a month. When notpacing his beat, he waspermitted to rest by recliningin his full kit on a Guard Bedof hard planks, covered with athin straw pallaise (mattress).The Guard Room looks as itdid in 1866, when the 15thRegiment used the muskets,uniforms and equipment ondisplay.

The cell block originallycontained seven cells -windowless stone and brickcubicles with an air-hole ofabout 10 inches diameter inthe outer wall. In 1847, thecell block was modified tocontain five enlarged cells,barred windows and anescape-proof ventilationsystem. The cell block revealsconditions as they were in1848.

Wilmot UnitedChurchProvincial Historic Site

Agroup of Loyalist formedthe Fredericton Methodist

Society in 1791. Thecongregation outgrew onechapel, lost another by fire,and built the church thatstands today in 1852. It is oneof the oldest buildings inregular use in the city, and thelast of the great woodenchurches, which dominatedthe skyline of 19th centuryFredericton. From 1852 to1974, a unique wooden handcarved by Edward Charterstopped the tallest spire inFredericton. The hand isdisplayed in the sanctuary.

In 1925, the FrederictonMethodist Church entered theUnited Church of Canada andadopted the name ‘Wilmot’ inhonour of its leading layman,Lemuel Allan Wilmot, whowas born in Fredericton andnamed the LieutenantGovernor of NB.

Among the church’s stainedglass windows is one by theWilliam Morris Studio installedin 1913, and in recent yearsre-identified by researchers anddeemed to be a valuable findin Canada. Wilmot’s pipeorgan is opus 2049 ofCasavant Frères, dedicated in1951, and restored in 2000-2001.

St. Anne’s Chapelof Ease"A place of worship withfree seats"

When Bishop John Medleycame from England in

1845, he brought architectFrank Wills with him. He setthis young man to work todesign a church that would, inthe Bishop’s words, “provide aplace of worship with freeseats for the poor andcoloured people of the parishwho lived on the outskirts ofFredericton”. Consecrated onMarch 18, 1847, St. Anne’sChapel of Ease becameCanada’s first free church.

Chapel 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-gate

The 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 tobe one of only a few suchgates remaining in NorthAmerica.
