Saint John at a glance

Thousands of Loyalists landed at Saint John in 1783, and the city is still nicknamed the “Loyalist City”. Samuel de Champlain named the Saint John River in 1604, having reached its mouth on the feast day of Saint John the Baptist. Saint John received its royal charter in 1785, making it the oldest incorporated city in Canada. A great fire in 1877 destroyed much of central Saint John, which is why so many of its brick and stone Victorian buildings date from the years that followed. The city's name is always spelled out in full as “Saint John”, which distinguishes it from St. John's, the capital of Newfoundland and Labrador. At the Reversing Falls in Saint John, the rising Bay of Fundy tide pushes back against the river and temporarily reverses the direction of the rapids.
