History of Saint John, New Brunswick : ウィキペディア英語版 | History of Saint John, New Brunswick This article details the history of Saint John, New Brunswick. Predated by the Maritime Archaic Indian civilization, the area of the northwestern coastal regions of the Bay of Fundy is believed to have been inhabited by the Passamaquoddy Nation several thousand years ago, while the St. John River valley north of the bay became the domain of the Maliseet Nation. ==French colony==
The mouth of the St. John River was first discovered by Europeans in 1604 during a reconnaissance of the Bay of Fundy undertaken by French cartographer Samuel de Champlain. The day upon which Champlain sighted the mighty river was St. John The Baptist's Day, hence the name, which in French is ''Fleuve Saint-Jean''. The city has the same name in English as well as French.〔(Geographical names approved in both English and French | Earth Sciences )〕 The strategic location at the mouth of the St. John River was fortified by Charles de la Tour in 1631. The fort was named Fort Sainte Marie (AKA Fort La Tour) and was located on the east side of the river. To the west of the St. John River, Fort Saint-Jean was later built (c. 1790).〔Brenda Dunn.
