This third edition of the Gazetteer of Canada: New Brunswick contains just over 14 000 official and formerly approved entries and supersedes the last edition which was printed in 1972. Readers will find officially approved names of New Brunswick's administrative areas, such as cities, towns, villages, and communities, and also physical features, such as watercourses, hills, mountains, and points. This document is formatted for use in both official languages and indicates the current official spelling of our geographical feature names. Municipal names are established by a process that is legislated, ensuring that most amendments require significant public input, whether the change requested is minor or major.
