New Brunswick was part of the old French Province of Acadia and was ceded to Britain in 1713. It was first colonised by British subjects from New England in 1761, and in 1783 it received a large body of loyalists from the thirteen colonies, and was separated from Nova Scotia, of which it had been part. In 1867 it became a province of the new Dominion of Canada.
