I was able to visit parts of New Brunswick during a drive to Newfoundland along the Trans-Canada Highway. I had once heard New Brunswick referred to as the ‘Forgotten Province’. What I saw did not reflect this description. If you ever get the chance to visit New Brunswick don’t think twice about it, GO, you won’t be disappointed. Of course, I kept an eye open for gaols along the way since as in Ontario, there was a county gaol system in New Brunswick. The county gaols were all taken over by the provincial government in 1967 forming the provincial corrections system as had happened in Ontario in 1968 and Nova Scotia. The history of New Brunswick goes back to European fishermen, explorer Jacques Cartier in 1534, and explorer Samuel de Champlain in 1604. The Malecite and Micmac Indians populated this area back then. Later, New Brunswick was one of the four original provinces that formed the Dominion of Canada in 1867. The province is named for the British royal family of Brunswick-Lüneburg (the house of Hanover). New Brunswick is called the Loyalist Province. The 15 counties of New Brunswick each had a gaol and courthouse before 1967. Some have been utilized for other purposes now, some unfortunately have been torn down.
