New Maryland is a suburban bedroom village of Fredericton in central New Brunswick, Canada; located directly south of Fredericton, south of Route 2 and Route 101. As of 2021, the population was 4,153, [2] which means it is large enough to become a "town". New Maryland is one of the wealthiest communities in New Brunswick as it has a median household income of over $110,000, the highest of any municipality in the province.
The name "New Maryland" has been used to describe a farming community and parish for over 100 years. In the 1970s and 1980s, several large suburban subdivisions were constructed in the area. New Maryland was officially incorporated as a village on June 1, 1991. [3] Today the village is home to many businesses including a pub, pharmacy, post office, hairdressers, a vehicle repair shop, and two gas stations along with several more small businesses. New Maryland is also home to New Maryland Elementary School and multiple daycares which serve the village and its outlying areas. Virtually all of the residents now commute to Fredericton.
The village gets its name from a settler, Mr. Arnold, who traveled to the area from the state of Maryland, USA in 1817. The area was originally referred to as "Maryland" or "Maryland Hill," but began to be referred to as "New Maryland" in 1825. [3]
New Maryland is the site of the last fatal gun duel in New Brunswick which occurred between George Frederick Street and George Ludlow Wetmore on October 2, 1821 [3] [4] This proclamation appears on the sign for New Maryland on the adjacent Trans-Canada Highway, Route 2. Wetmore–Street Pub, located within the village, gets its name from the two combatants in this duel.
In the 2021 Census of Population conducted by Statistics Canada, New Maryland had a population of 4,153 living in 1,529 of its 1,550 total private dwellings, a change of -0.5% from its 2016 population of 4,174. With a land area of 21.25 km2 (8.20 sq mi), it had a population density of 195.4/km2 (506.2/sq mi) in 2021. [2]
