Why There?

The City Hall is built in the center of downtown Fredericton. It is in a busy district of town so it would be an interesting area for tourism.

Built in 1875-

1876

This place is used for the meeting place of the city council, which is important because all the important decisions made for the city are discussed here.

Normally, building a city that is split apart by a river would be difficult. However, Fredericton’s Railway Bridge connects the city together. This bridge is meant to be a pedestrian bridge and is known as the worlds longest walking bridge.

Because this city is in the maritime region, the city is near the ocean which helps keep the city cooler during the summer. As well as less intense winters.

Growing season takes place around the middle of May until mid-October

The Harvest Jazz & Blues festival is a large music festival in Fredericton. In the festival, performances of the blues and jazz music is played across downtown Fredericton, roughly six city blocks big.

In the 19th and early 20th century,

Forestry/lumber was the city’s main source

of economy because of the large forest

areas.

Now city receives most income from

universities.

In other words, the city was a resourced

based income, now it’s mostly service based.

Fredericton is home to thousands of

immigrants from around the world.

However a majority of the immigrants came

from eastern Asia (About 33%).

During the early development of

the city, the city mostly consisted

of people of European origin.

In the 1960’s to 1970’s a large

Asian population immigrated

into this city.

Many years ago, the land where Fredericton is currently

was once used as farm land for the First Nations, Mi’kmaq

and Maliseet. The colonization of this land began after King

William’s war in the late 17th century.

Livable or not?

Fredericton isn’t a very large city. However, there is a nice

community, they welcome new immigrants, and good

education services. I think this place is very livable and

good if you’re not a fan of busy city streets but like a more

calm environment.
