Discover how Fredericton went from Indigenous territory to French trading routes, survived the brutal conflicts between empires, became a refuge for British Loyalists fleeing the American Revolution, and somehow ended up as a provincial capital despite being smaller than Saint John. This isn't the sanitized version you learned in school - this is the real story with all the fires, floods, political backstabbing, economic chaos, and survival against the odds.

We cover the Wolastoqiyik civilization that thrived here for millennia, the French and English fighting over Acadia, the devastating Acadian Expulsion, the desperate Loyalist refugees who built a city from nothing in the wilderness, the timber boom that made New Brunswick wealthy, Confederation and the birth of Canada, the World Wars, the Great Depression, and everything up to modern day Fredericton.

Learn about the Saint John River valley's crucial role in Canadian history, why the British chose this location as New Brunswick's capital instead of the larger Saint John, how the timber trade shaped the entire region's economy, the complicated relationship between settlers and Indigenous peoples, and what makes Fredericton unique among Canadian cities today.

This complete documentary covers every major event: Indigenous history and the Wolastoqiyik people, European contact and colonization, the Seven Years War, the American Revolution and Loyalist migration, the founding of Fredericton in 1785, becoming New Brunswick's capital, the timber trade era, Confederation in 1867, both World Wars, economic booms and busts, the 1973 flood, and modern challenges facing the city.

Perfect for history enthusiasts, Canadians wanting to learn their country's real story, New Brunswick residents, students studying Canadian history, or anyone interested in how small cities survive and adapt over centuries. This is Atlantic Canadian history, Maritime history, colonial history, and Indigenous history all in one comprehensive documentary.

From Wolastoqiyik seasonal camps to modern provincial capital, from forest wilderness to university town, from timber economy to government center - this is how Fredericton became Fredericton.
