Saint John, the largest city in the Province of New Brunswick, is the oldest incorporated city in Canada. Called the "Largest Little City in the East," It is believed that the explorers from France, Sieur de Monts and Samuel De Champlain, landed at the opening of what is now "St. John River" on the 24th of June, the year 1604 - St. John the baptist's feast day. This prompted them to name the river in honor of the saint. An important historic landmark on the eastern side of Saint John Harbour is Portland Point (beside H.M.C.S. Brunswicker). This was where the very first permanent French community in the part of Acadia or New Brunswick was created. During the year 1758, the British settled within the region and was replaced by American revolutionaries in the year 1775. Its segregated communities joined together as the city of St. John and became the very first incorporated city of Canada.
