La Fondation du Nouveau-Brunswick

English

The increase of population consequent upon the large influx of Loyalists in 1783 and 1784 convinced the British government of the desirability of creating the Province of New Brunswick. This was done on 16 August 1784. Brigadier General Thomas Carleton, who had provided invaluable service in transplanting the United Empire Loyalists, was chosen as the province first governor. He arrived at Saint John on 21 November 1784, and on the following day held his first council and proclaimed Civil Government.
