New Brunswick
New Brunswick (; , Quebec French pronunciation: ) is one of Canada's three Maritime provinces and is the only constitutionally bilingual (English–French) province.〔Section Sixteen of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.〕 It was created as a result of the partitioning of the British Colony of Nova Scotia in 1784. Fredericton is the capital, Moncton is the largest metropolitan (CMA) area and Saint John is the most populous city. In the 2011 nationwide census, Statistics Canada estimated the provincial population to have been 751,171. The majority of the population is English-speaking, but there is also a large Francophone minority (33%), chiefly of Acadian origin.
==Etymology==
The province is named for the city of Braunschweig, known in English as ''Brunswick'', located in modern-day Lower Saxony in northern Germany (and also the former duchy of the same name). The then-colony was named in 1784 to honour the reigning British monarch, George III. Braunschweig is the ancestral home of the British monarch George I and his successors (the House of Hanover).
