Saint John, NB Photos

Saint John has been settled for 400 years, but incorporated in 1785 after a large influx of Loyalists who fled the United States Revolution. It became a major commercial seaport which resulted in an uptown with rich Victorian-era commercial buildings, now largely all restored & unspoiled by inappropriate highrises.
