During and after the American Revolution thousands of Americans from New England who remained loyal to the British monarchy fled to the province of Nova Scotia, in Canada. During 1783 more than 15,000 “Loyalists” landed, many on the western shore of the Bay of Fundy in what soon became the Province of New Brunswick. Anxious to populate this region, the British government issued land grants and settlement quickly spread along the fertile banks of the Saint John River.

King’s Landing, a few miles up-river from the provincial capital at Fredericton, was created to preserve the monuments of those settlers and later 18th-century Scots, Irish and English arrivals. They built homes, mills, barns and shops close to the river, which was their highway. When the huge hydroelectric Mactaquac Dam was built by the province in the 1960s, the empoundment meant the destruction of that riverside heritage. That’s how King’s Landing was born, named in honor of the King’s American Dragoons, a regiment of Loyalists who fought with the British.
