New Brunswick Resources
One of the three
Maritime provinces, and included as one of the four Atlantic
provinces, of Canada, bounded on the north by the Province Quebec
and Chaleur Bay, on the east by the Gulf of Saint Lawrence and
Northumberland Strait, on the south east by Nova Scotia, on the
south by the Bay of Fundy, and on the west by the state of Maine.
The province is joined to Nova Scotia by the narrow Isthmus of
Chignecto. New Brunswick entered the Canadian Confederation on July
1, 1867, as one of the four original provinces. The province has
traditionally had an economy based on the exploitation of its
natural resources. In the early 1990's forestry and mineral
industries remained important, but services and manufacturing were
the dominant sectors. The province is named for the British royal
family of Brunswick-Lüneburg (the house of Hannover). New Brunswick
is called the Loyalist Province.
