Canada's oldest incorporated city and the province's largest city, Saint John is located on the province's south eastern shore. Loyalists established the city in 1783, and the greater Saint John area is now home to 122,389 people. The Irving companies helped build the economy through the 20th Century, and today the Saint John economy is strong, diverse and includes oil and gas, transportation, call centres, technology companies, and the University of New Brunswick. The Port of Saint John supports New Brunswick's import and export trade and increasing cruise business.
St. John is often called "The Fundy City" for its proximity to the Bay of Fundy and the nearby Reversing Falls which demonstrate the power of the highest tides in the world by reversing the flow of the St. John River. Fundy National Park offers hiking trails that feature lookouts with views of the Bay of Fundy. A winding coastal road and nature trails can be found in Irving Nature Park. In town, the New Brunswick Museum displays 350 million years of natural history. The Old City Market is the longest continuous running farmers market in Canada. History may be experienced at Carleton Martello Tower's soldier barracks, through the restored Georgian-style Loyalist House museum, or the authentically reproduced 19th century Barbours General Store. Explore shipbuilding history or the Hall of the Great Whales at New Brunswick Museum. Or see over 100 exotic and endangered animals at the accredited Cherry Brook Zoo & Vanished Kingdom Park.
