Yearlong Celebration Planned for City's Birthday

Wednesday, January 13th, 2021

The first Europeans set foot on Brunswick centuries ago, but it wasn’t until 1771 that Brunswick was named a city by the Provincial Council.

The council created Brunswick on a 1,000-acre tract of land called Plug Point, owned by Mark Carr since 1744. He was given several hundred acres on Blythe Island and additional land nearby in exchange for the lands he initially claimed in what became Brunswick.
