About Saint John
Saint John is a historic port city on the Bay of Fundy in New Brunswick, known for its reversing falls, huge tides, covered market and Loyalist heritage.
Saint John stands at the mouth of the Saint John River, where the river meets the Bay of Fundy and its tides, among the highest in the world. At Reversing Falls, the incoming tide pushes through a narrow gorge and for a time forces the river to run upstream. Loyalists arrived from the United States in 1783, and Saint John was incorporated as a city in 1785, one of the oldest in the country.
